| | Lairds of Callendar 3 |
 | | The youngest daughter of this Lord Livingston was one of the four Maries, selected and adopted by the Queen mother, Mary of Guise, from the noblest families of the land to be the playmates and schoolfellows of her royal daughter. |
 | | The name of Mary Livingston, traduced and calumniated by the harsh and ungallant John Knox, yet lingers in the traditions of the neighbourhood of Callendar: she is still talked of as having married her father’s "galopin," or menial-groom, who is said to have treated her cruelly. |
 | | Amid all the vicissitudes of fortune, William, sixth Lord Livingston (the brother of the Queen's Mary), was the steady and unflinching adherent of his royal and hapless mistress; he joined her after her escape from Lochleven, fought gallantly for her at Langside, and, after that fatal day, accompanied her to England to share her captivity. |
