Is that all you have on the Raulins family? Now I am beginning to wonder if the church had spelled SiR Edwin Rawlings as Raulins as well. Do you have anything on the VanMeter family? More specifically I am looking for a marriage between Rebecca VanMeter born about 1577 and Sir Edwin Rawlings/Raulins.

And a marriage between Arthur Rawlings/Raulin born abt 1544 and Izabell Bothomly born abt 1548. I am pretty sure that marriage took place in 1569 in Yorkshire, but their may be other church records for their childrens baptisms as well. Thanks. Ed

The Valuation Rolls at www.scotlandspeople https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/advanced-search/valuation-rolls#record-type record that in 1855 the proprietor of Linnhall and Lairdholm was Doctor Bell and the tenant and occupier was John Smith.

From 1862 the proprietor is listed as William Bell and the tenant was still John Smith.

In 1887 the proprietor is Andrew Jardine Esq, but the index doesn't make it clear who the tenant was.

To find out exactly who owned Linhall and Lairdholm when, you could consult the Registers of Sasines. These, however, are not available online. You would need to go, or to get someone to go on your behalf, to the National Records of Scotland in Edinburgh. You could hire a professional searcher via https://www.asgra.co.uk/ if you can't go yourself.
