The local paper, East Lothian Courier, could be a place to check the archives.  I thought I had the news-cutting but can't lay my hands on it - back in the 1980s or may even be the 1990s there was a front page article as the property was being sold and it contained quite a bit of information on the Sydserffs and Buchans.  Sorry I can't be more definite about dates.

I have just read the posts relating to Sydserfs in East Lothian and have a John Sydserf who married Isabella Herkes in my family tree.  He was born 9/9/1827 and his parents were Alexander Sydserf and Francis Logan whose name continues down through the family for some time.  I have nothing before their marriage on him but do have their children on downwards.
