Taking the name of a town in England,
a Norman named Walter Fitz-Gilbert of Hambledon, moved to Renfrewshire.
He is first mentioned in a 1294 charter given to Paisley monastery
giving the privilege of fishing for herring in the Clyde, to which
he is a witness. Later, during the Wars of Independence, Fitz-Gilbert
was governor of Bothwell Castle on behalf of the English, but he
came across to Bruce’s side and was rewarded with a portion
of confiscated Comyn lands.
