  Suo jure Countess of Atholl, daughter and heir. She married John of Strathbogie, son and heir of David, who was 3rd son of Duncan, earl of Fife [Scotland]. By this match her husband became, in her right, Earl of Atholl, and, as such, he, with his Countess, in 1254, confirmed a donation made by the father of of the latter to the monastery of Coupar.

  Ada, who succeeded as Countess of Atholl, and is said to have married John of Strathbogie, son of David of Strathbogie, who was the third son of Duncan, sixth Earl of Fife, and took his name from the lands of Strathbogie, which were conferred upon him by his father, as appears from references to him in the Register of Moray. There is no absolute proof of this statement, but it rendered probable by the fact that the later Earls of Atholl design themselves as of Strathbogie, and the evidence of seals, which will be noted below. Lord Hailes, in his Additonal Case for the Countess of Sutherland, quotes a charter by John, Earl of Atholl and Ada the Countess, confirming to the monks of Cupar the grant of the lands of Invervack which had been made to them by David, Earl of Atholl, father of Countess Ada. Lord Hailes misdates this charter in 1283 thus confounding the granter with a later John of Strathbogie, his grandson; but the date 1254, assigned to it by Sir James Balfour, who alone has preserved a note of it, assures us that Ada, Countess of Atholl, was the daughter of David of Hastings and the wife of Earl John, who clearly brought the name and probably the arms of Strathbogie inot the family of Atholl.
