Ruthven, on his return to Gowrie's house, told a retainer, Craigingelt, that he 'had been on an errand not far off, and accounted for the King's arrival by saying that he was 'brought' by the royal saddler to exact payment of a debt to the man. Now James had just given Gowrie a year's immunity from pursuit of creditors, and there is no trace of the saddler's presence.
Clearly Ruthven lied to Craigingelt; he had been at Falkland, not 'on an errand not far off. That Cranstoun, Gowrie's man, brought the news, or rumour, of the King's departure was admitted by himself. That the King was locked in by a door which could not be burst open is matter of undisputed certainty.
