[Burke's Peerage]
"Sir Gilbert De la Haya and his brother Hugh, descend ants in the fifth
generation from this royal butler [William De la Haya who m arried the
daughter of Ranulph De Soulis], were amongst the first of the Scot tish
barons to repair to the standard of Robert Bruce, and were present at hi s
coronation. Hugh was taken prisoner at the battle of Tippermuir, but
Gilb ert made his escape, with Bruce and a small body of followers, into
the wilds of Athole, and shared in all his subsequent perils and
privations. Hugh must in some way have regained his liberty, for he
fought, along with his brother , at Bonnockburn. Sir Gilbert was created,
by King Robert Bruce, High Constab le of Scotland -- an office which was
made hereditary in his family, and rece ived from his grateful sovereign a
grant of the lands of Slains, in Aberdeens hire, which is still the seat
of his descendants."
