In northeast Scotland about halfway between Aberdeen and Peterhead, on a windy cliff, stands the shell of Old Slains castle (see below), the ancient seat of the Hay family, Earls of Erroll. The land at Slains was a gift to Sir Gilbert Hay (ca.1280?-1333) by King Robert the Bruce of Scots (1306-1329) in recognition for his loyal service during the wars of Independence against the English. Gilbert was a personal friend of King Robert Bruce. In 1306 Gilbert (and his brother Hugh) and Robert Bruce were hiding out in the Scottish highlands, running from the English authorities. That same year he was in the Battle of Methven. Robert Bruce appointed him Hereditary High Constable of Scotland in 1309. (The family still holds that title, givng them precedence in Scotland immediately after the royal family. ) Sir Gilbert was one of the barons who signed the famous Declaration of Independence at Arbroath in 1320. About the same time the Hay family also acquired Delgatie Castle
