The origin of this branch is uncertain but this family uses the same arms, same crest and same motto as the Werke-Chillingham branch making it impossible to conclude they are not related. In fact Nisbet states: "Gray Lord Gray in Scotland, same arms as My Lord Gray of Wark and Chillingham, England, Motto, Anchor Fast Anchor. The first of this line was a son of Gray in Chillingham, Northumberland, England, who came to Scotland in the reign of Alexander II, (about 1130), and gave his allegiance to that King, receiving possessions in Roufield shire of Roxburgh. His issue has continued in Scotland." While doubtful this branch really came so early to Scotland it seems not only possible but realistic that this branch was inddeed issued from one of the younger son, if not that early then at the latest from one of younger sons of Thomas Grey, brother of John, 1st Earl of Tankerville -->
