=== The Scottish branch (of de Vipont or Vet ===
The Scottish branch (of de Vipont or Veteriponte), although it did not attain to the great position and power of the Westmoreland one, was always distinguished, so far as can be gathered from history, by the gallantry and chivalrous conduct of its chiefs, over whose fame there hangs no shadow of suspicion, such as that which mars the reputation of Robert de Veteripont, the friend of King John.
The first known to us is John, presumed to have been the son of William de Vieuxpont, the Conqueror's companion, who came north, and was one of the band of Norman colonists endowed with lands by Malcolm Canmore. In 1126 the Mortimers got Aberdour, County Fife, by the match of the representative of the Mortuomairs, as the name is written in old Scottish deeds, with Anicia, daughter and heiress of Domini Johannis de Veteri-Ponte. There was a William de Vepount who claimed lands in Devonshire in 1131, and agreed that his rights should be determined by battle. He possibly may have been this John's brother, and the Baron who afterwards acquired great estates in Scotland, as well as in the north of England. [House of Cockburn p22]
________________________________
A branch of the Viponts is found in Scotland at a very early date, and the seal of one of them, bearing arms altogether different from those used by the English house, is in the collection of the Scottish Society of Antiquaries. Instead of the annulets of the Barons of Westmorland, the escutcheon is charged with three lions rampant, and between them, on the honour point, a star, with two similar stars on the escutcheon. "The first of the family that held lands beyond the Tweed was a William de Veteriponte, who in the time of David King of Scotland (1124-1153) had a dispute with the monks of Coldingham about some land, which in the next reign he gave up to them by a deed.(1) Among the benefoctors of Kelso we find another William (probably his son) that married first Emma de St Hilary, and secondly Matildis de St Andrew; by the former of whom he had three sons, and by the latter, one, if no more; and strange as it may seem, of his sons three were named William, and were distinguished as 'primogenitus,' 'medius,' and 'junior,' while the eldest of them had a son also called William junior." - 'Archæological Society,' vol 13, p69. The last of the family there mentioned are widows of two, if not three other William de Viponts, who were living in 1296. [Battle Abbey Roll III:411]
(1) The deed may actually have been made by the next William - for it is dated between 1155-58.
