1546 Robert Boyd was present at the meeting of the Privy Council at St. Andrews on 19 December 1546. Notwithstanding the agreement of 1530, the feud with the Montgomeries still continued, and Sir Neil Montgomerie of Lainshaw was slain by Lord Boyd and his adherents in a skirmish in the streets of Irvine in 1547.

Irvine is on the coast of the Firth of Clyde in Ayrshire due west of Kilmarnock. The murders were warmly resented, and the feud raged until 1560–61, when, in the time of his son the 5th Lord Boyd, peace was restored between the parties by a mutual compromise. Robert, 4th Lord Boyd, died between 29 July 1557, when his son is styled Master of Boyd, and 10 May 1558, when the son was “now Lord Boyd”.

Family – Robert Boyd married Helen, daughter of Sir John Somerville of Oambusnethan, before 1518. She was living on 13 August 1536. He married, secondly, before December 1542, Elizabeth Napier, widow of Humphrey Colquhoun of Luss,

and thirdly, before February 1549, Marion, daughter of Sir John Colquhoun of Luss. She survived him, and was married, secondly, to Captain Thomas Crawfurd of Jordanhill He had two children: Robert, 5th Lord Boyd (c. 1517–1590)

Margaret Boyd, who married John Montgomerie of Lainshaw and was widowed before 10 February 1560–61.

Notes Footnotes Balfour 1904, p. 155 Notes that Considerable confusion exists as to the numbering of the Lords Boyd. In the Complete Peerage Balfour’s Robert, 5^th Lord Boyd is considered the 3^rd Lord, though in the Dictionary National Bibliography (Rigg 1886, pp. 96,97), as in Douglas, “he is, for some cause, called the fourth Lord, though, if the attainder is not reckoned (whereby three persons, viz. (1) the Earl of Arran (living 1472); (2) James Boyd (died 1484), son and heir of the Earl of Arran; and (3) Alexander Boyd (living 1505), uncle and heir of the said James, were excluded from the succession), he would apparently have been sixth Lord”, (Douglas see p. 399, note 6). Balfour states that it is now known that the Earl of Arran died decessitvita patris (v.p. During the life of the father), and that James was restored as Lord Boyd in 1482, therefore this Robert was apparently de facto fourth Lord. Cokayne writing a decade after agreed with Balfour’s numbering (Cokayne 1912, p. 160), as does Hewitt the author of the 21^st century article “Boyd, Robert, 5^th Lord Boyd (c.1517–1590)” in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (Hewitt 2004).

1745 Night. Skirmish at Clifton. Lord George Murray perceived, by a glimpse of moonshine, this large body of men coming from the moor, and advancing towards the Clifton enclosures. The MacPherson and Stewart regiments, which were under Lord George’s immediate command, were stationed behind a hedge; but Lord George, observing a second hedge in front, protected by a [TG80-239] deep ditch, ordered his men to advance and gain possession of it. It was already lined on the opposite side by the enemy, who, as was then the custom of dragoons, acted as infantry when occasion required. Lord George asked Cluny his opinion of what was to be done: ” I will attack the enemy sword in hand,” replied the undaunted chief, ” provided ye order me.” As they advanced, the MacPhersons, who were nearest to the hedge of which they wished to take possession, received a fire from the soldiers who had lined it on the opposite side.

The MacPhersons rushed on, headed by their chief, with uncontrollable fury; they gave their fire, and then burst, sword in hand, through the hedge, and attacked the dragoons by whom it was lined. Lord George himself headed the assault, and in dashing through the hedge lost his bonnet and wig (the last of which was then universally worn), and fought bare-headed, the foremost in the skirmish. Colonel Honeywood, who commanded the dragoons, was left severely wounded on the spot, and his sword, of considerable value, fell into the hands of the chief of the MacPhersons. The dragoons on the right were compelled, with considerable loss, to [TG80-240] retreat to their party on the moor. At the same moment, or nearly so, another body of dismounted dragoons pressed forward upon the high-road, and were repulsed by the Glengarry regiment, and that of John Roy Stewart. The Highlanders were with difficulty recalled from the pursuit, exclaiming, that it was a shame to see so many of the king’s enemies standing fast upon the moor without attacking them. A very few of the MacPhersons, not exceeding twelve, who ventured too far, were either killed or taken. But the loss of the English was much more considerable, nor did they feel disposed to renew the attack upon the rear of the Highlanders.
