The points most worthy of note in this undated and unattributed study are that:

Firstly, it highlights the clear consensus amongst contributors to Section J that there were seven Lairds of Terpersie, not six. Wimberley is dismissive of this alternative view, according to which there was not one but two men of successive generations, William III and William IV. This would make Charles VII of Terpersie, and not VI, as he has been conventionally reckoned.

Secondly, this account supports the view taken in The Terpersie Family and the Pedigree of John Stuart, according to which a sister of King James V was a lineal ancestor of the Gordons of Terpersie.
