The surname was not uncommon on the West Marches in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and in the seventeenth century a family of the name acquired lands in Fife. John Batisoun or Batysoune had a charter in 1458 of two mercates and a half of the lands of Dalbeth (Dawech) in the barony of Westir Ker for his services at the battle of Arnkenholme (1 May 1455) when the Douglases were overwhelmea (RMS., II, 632). Nicholas Batisoun had a similar grant out of the same lands for his services (ibid., 633), and Robert Batysoune also received a grant of two mark lands of Quhitscheles for similar services (ER., VI p. 557). William Beatisoun in Hawick was ordered to be exhibited before the Privy Council in 1627 as a masterless person fit for the wars (RPC., 2. ser. II. p. 35). Baitsone 1683, Beattisoun 1597, Beatisone 1653.
