The following, which shows that Innerpeffer was given to Robert by Robertthe Bruce, is copied from Battle of Bannockburn web page,electricscotland.com:
This battle of Bannockburn, forming one of the most remarkable episodesin the history of Scotland, was fought on Monday the 24th June, 1314. Thevictory was attended with the most important consequences. It establishedRobert firmly upon the throne, which, hitherto, he had always felttottering beneath him; and settled throughout the kingdom a tranquillityformerly unknown. The extensive possessions in the West of Scotlandbelonging to Baliol, together with the estates of his partisans, whoappear to have been more numerous than is commonly imagined, fallingunder forfeiture, gave the crown greater power than it formerly hadpossessed. Robert reserved some of these estates, and bestowed the restupon his most trusty friends; who thus became attached to his governmentby a new tie. The reward bestowed upon Sir Robert Keith Mareschal, who,by dispersing with his cavalry, the enemy’s archers, had so materiallycontributed to the success of the day, may be seen from the followingpassage in Robertson’s Index of Charters. Charter by Robert I. "to RobertKeith, of the lands of Merschell, and the office of Merschellship,Keith,"(in the constabulary of Haddington and shire of Edinburgh),"Symone, Colbanstoun, Alneden in Buchan, with the new forest ofInnerpeffer, four davache of land of Strathbogie, the forest of Kintoir,conteinand ase taillie." This charter confirmed by David II. It is notknown to whom Leckie in Stirlingshire had formerly belonged; but, fromRobertson’s printed Index of Charters, it appears that the half of thisestate nearest "Buchaun" was the private property of King Robert, andthat he exchanged it with the Earl of Lennox for Cardross ofDunbartonshire.
