 Sometime between 1306 and 1322 Gillespie received , in charter from Robert I of Scotland , the ten pennyland of " Schyrwaghthyne " ( Strathlachlan ) and other lands . He also appears on the list of Scottish magnates who sat at the first Parliament of the king of Scots at St Andrews , in 1309 . Gillespie was one of the sixteen Scottish magnates who signed a letter to Philip IV of France in 1309 . The King of France had asked for Scottish assistance in a Crusade he was forming , with the Scots answering that they were at war with England and had their hands full . His name appears on one of the seal tags with that letter , though the actual seal that had been attached to the tag has since been lost .
