History
Dit dorp heeft als Hoge Heerlijkheid of Vrije Baronie een rijke en bewogen geschiedenis gekend.
It seems to me that towns used to enjoy 'class status' in the past, with Hoge Heerlijkheid being higher than Vrije Baronie. Unfortunately I'm not Dutch, so I'm not that familiar with the history. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

free barony
much is known about Sir Alexander except that he married Janet Chisholm (the same family that later provided the second wife of John Napier of Logarithms) and they had three children: Alexander; Helen; and Janet.. The lands of Merchiston were raised to a free barony in 1512 in his favour. Sir Alexander also fought at Flodden, but unfortunately, he did not survive.
