Early in the seventeenth century,
Viscount Seton of Kingston married the
daughter of Sir Archibald Douglas, who succeeded her father as heiress of
Whittinghame, by whom he had eleven children, six sons and five daughters.
Both Archibald, the second Viscount of Kingston, and James, the third
Viscount having died without issue, the honours became extinct. The
Honourable Lady Elizabeth Seton, the youngest of the family, having
survived all the rest, became heiress of Whittinghame. She was married to
the Honourable William Hay of Drummelzier, second son of the first Earl of
Tweedale in the year 1695 and by this marriage came into the possession of
the estate of Whittinghame and Stoneypath Tower. The Hays of Drummelzier
were long proprietors of Whittinghame until the estate was sold in 1817 to
James Balfour Esq. The Parish of Whittinghame is siutated S.E. of
Haddington and E. of Morham, the mansion house still exists.
A hamlet in East Lothian, Kingston lies 2 miles (3 km) south of
