Here is a correction to the original post.

My initial proposal contains an error--Isabella Graham, wife of Walter
Buchanan, 15th Laird of Buchanan, was a daughter of Patrick Graham,
1st Laird of Graham, and his wife Christian Erskine, rather than a
daughter of the 2nd Laird of Graham, as stated by Auchmar. The error
is apparent when comparing the chronologies of the families; and a
Genealogical Tree drawn by William Colquhoun in 1602 and published in
Smith, Strathendrick, correctly shows the 15th Laird of Buchanan's
wife as a daughter of Patrick Graham, Laird of Graham, and his wife, a
daughter of the Laird of Erskine. This difference, of course,
eliminates the descent from Robert III through the Earl of Angus.
But, it does not negate the following, apparently still valid,
lineages:

1. Robert II, King of Scotland = Elizabeth Mure
2. Robert III, King of Scotland = Annabella Drummond
