=== Life Sketch ===

=== Randolph, as superior of the shole of Ni ===
Randolph, as superior of the shole of Nithsdale, transmitted the designation of the lord of Stranith to his posterity. He married Bethoc, heiress of the lands of Bedruin, a contraction of Bethoc-rule, and Buecastle in Teviotdule, and from him his descendants assumed the surname of Randolph. [The Scottish Nation III:200]
______________________________
Ranulf or Randulf, son of Dunegal, appears as a witness at intervals in royal charter of King David I and Malcolm IV until about or after 1162. Three of these writs were granted at Glasgow, Cadzow, then a royal domian, and apparently Jedburgh, in King David's time. In the reign of King Malcolm he was a witness to charters at Dunbermline, St Andrews in 1160, Edinburgh and Jedburgh, the last writ being dated about the end of 1164 or beginning of 1165. This is his last appearance on record, and he has not been found as a witness to any writ of King William's reign, or after 1165. Ranulf also appears as making grants to the Church, giving to the Abbey of Kelso certain lands in Dumfries, and apparently about 1160 he and his wife granted to Jedburgh about a hundred acres of land in Rughchester or Rowcastle in Bedrule parish, a grant confirmed with others by King William the Lion after 1165. It is not certain when Ranulf died, as nothing further is recorded of him. He married a lady named Bethoc, who apparently was the owner of Rowcastle referred to above. The author of Caledonia and others have assumed that she was the Bethoc who gave name to the parish of Bethoc-rule or Bedrule, but this is a mistake, as that Bethoc was of much earlier date, and through her daughter Hextilda, Bedrule and other lands came into possession of the family of Comyn, who held them until the time of Bruce. But it is possible that the later Bethoc was herself a Comyn, and held Rowcastle as her marriage portion. Ranulf was succeeded by Thomas 'son of Ranulf,' and he may also have had a daughter, married to Reginald, Lord of the Isles. [The Scots Peerage VI:287-288]
