KINNEAR of that Ilk, in the shire of Fife, sable,, on a bend or, three canary
birds proper ; Mr Pont, in his blaxons, sable, on a bend or, three papingos vert ;
but tlie first blazon given by Sir George Mackenzie seems to be the most proper
one, being relative to the name, which is ancient with us ; for in the register of
the abbacy of Balmerino, there is a donation of William Kinnear of that Ilk, of
certain lands to the Monks of that abbacy, to pray for the soul of his father, and

The principal old family of this name was Halyburton of that Ilk,
in the shire of
Berwick : the chapel of Halyburton was a pendicle of the church of Greenlaw, as
appears from the charter of David the son of Truck, giving and disponing to the
abb:icy of Selkirk, his chapel of Halyburton, in the reign of Malcolm IV.
Which charter is confirmed by his pronepos Philip de Halyburton, in the year 1261 ;
and in that charter Philip calls David, son of Truck, his proavus. The name of
the knds and is chapel, said to be from a religious man named Burton, who had
his residence in these lands which were called after him, Halyburton, i. e. Holyburton,
or St Burton's lands.

Halyburton, with the consent
of his superior, Patrick Earl of March, grants the like, 1357, which is confirmed
afterwards by James Bishop of St Andrews. Dominus Johannes de Halyburton
is witness to a charter of Richard Edgar, granted to Robert Edgar of Wadderly,
of the date 1378. And, in another charter, confirming the former, in the
year 1384, Dominus Johannes de Halyburton, is designed Dominus de Dirleton:
