The earliest charter in the Henderson of Fordell papers dates from 1217, when Richard, son of Hugh de Camera, with consent of his wife and son, (also) Richard, grants small parts of the lands of Fordell to the Abbey of Inchcolm.[10][11]

By 1240, William de Hercht held the lands of Fordell.[12] Sir William de Erth was the Lord of Fordell in 1428.[13] The Fordell lands were divided into fractional portions following William de Erth's death.[14] John Henrisoun was serving as sergeant of Fordell by 1465.[15] It is not known when the original castle structure was constructed, but the main entrance tower is believed to date from the 1400s.[citation needed]

In 1510–1512, James (M. Jacobo) Henrysoun (Henderson),[16] burgess of Edinburgh, and his wife, Elene (née Baty), redeemed from mortgage his inherited fractional portion of the Fordell estate and purchased fractional parts of the lands of Fordell (Fordalis) from at least five others.[17] The land was consolidated into a barony granted by King James IV in 1511.[18]
