BIOGRAPHY: There was much wheeling and dealing, particularly to accommodate the wealthy London Livery Companies whose involvement would help guarantee a successful outcome. The Scottish undertakers obtained 59 estates totalling some 81,000 acres. The relative small size of the estates granted reflected the lower incomes of the Scottish lairds. King James also exercised his influence on allocations and many wealthy towns men were rejected in favour of middle ranking lairds with experience in handling landed estates. The nine chief undertakers were all titled and eleven of the ordinary undertakers were also knights of the realm.
