  Before the Lords were created, the family maintained a tradition of Knights, for thirteen generations, until the mid-14th century, and passed this training through hereditary means to every son of the House.  The first created Lord in Scotland was Sir William Seton, son of the heiress Margaret Seton and Alan de Winton, and grandson of Sir Alexander Seton, of Berwick Castle fame.  The Lords Seton were the premier barons of Scotland and heirs to the Earldom of Buchan, before becoming Earls of Winton.
