The family of Gordon of Cairnburrow descends from George Gordon (or John) who was killed at Pinkie 1547. He left one son, John who married Elizabeth G of Buckie, and had 8 sons who all possesed estates, among them Edinglassie (whence also the family of Rothiemay). William was of Cairnborrow, and had a son Alexander, the laird in 1642, noted as ?a Papist?. In 1654 it was ?George G of Cairnborrow?
I have George's father as of Cairnburrow.

The Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, sometimes known as the Battle of Pinkie,[5] took place on 10 September 1547 on the banks of the River Esk near Musselburgh, Scotland. The last pitched battle between Scottish and English armies, it was part of the conflict known as the Rough Wooing, and is considered to be the first modern battle in the British Isles. It was a catastrophic defeat for Scotland, where it became known as Black Saturday.[6]
