According to the 17th-century family history written by James, 11th Lord Somerville, this Lord John was an ineffectual character, and his affairs were managed by his relations as tutors and curators. The historian only found one charter signed by John at Edinburgh in 1510 connected with his coming-of-age, and assumes the Lord spent most of his life at Cowthally Castle near Carnwath.[2] There is no record of John attending Parliament.[3]
