Monuments and Memorials of the Seton Family

 

Baillie David Seton, and Baillie George Seton's Monuments in the Tranent Churchyard.

This space is reserved as a repository of family memorials of the House of Seton.

Alexander Seton, Chancellor of Scotland and 1st Earl of Dunfermline:  On a marble monument of the Seton family, in Seton Church, Tranent, are the words, "Fermelinodvnum Comes et Regni Scotiae factus est Cancellarius," in allusion to the first Earl of Dunfermline and his status.  In 1821, while repairs were being made in Dalgety Church, Fifeshire, a closed vault was discovered, in which were six coffins; one of these, from the inscription on it, contained the remains of the Earl - viz., "Alexander Setonius, Fermelinoduni Comes, Scotiae Cancellarius," &c. (See Annals, date 1622.)
