<!-- The ancient barony of Chisholm was placed in Roxburghshire. The family obtained The Aird and Quarrelwood by marriage with Bisset and Lauder heiresses. The family/clan was divided with three sons of Robert de Chisholme, Constable of Urquhart Castle (d. 1393) who was the last to hold the lands both in lowlands and highlands of Scotland, his sons effectively dividing the family into lowland and highland branches of the family. His eldest son and heir married Catherine Bisset but had a daughter Morella/Muriel with her who was his eventual heiress and married Alexander Sutherland of Duffus, transferring Quarrelwood (and the boar head in their arms) among other estates to that family, thus the main line going extinct. Robert's 2nd son was Alexander who married the heiress of Erchless castle which thus became the seat of all the future Chiefs of the Clan Chisholm and transferred the now senior branch into Scottish Highlands. Robert's 3rd son was another Robert who was the progenitor of the line that continued in Stirches and Cromlix i.e. founding the Scottish Lowlands branch, which also among other things claimed the chieftainship of the Clan in opposition to the Comer/Erchless branch --> | <!-- The ancient barony of Chisholm was placed in Roxburghshire.
