Today I have discovered the 1703 Baptism Registration for 6-times Great-Grandfather Patrick Scott in the “Old parochial registers for Duddingston. 1631-1854”.
I have also found that there may be an issue, in that at times GGGGGG-Grandfather Patrick was also known as Peter.

Thanks to TW and TD, they were able to assist with a definition of “fermourer”. “A fermourer was someone who tended a farm, including livestock and crops, but did not own it, (per ScotlandsPeople’s occupational glossary.)
6-times Great-Grandfather Patrick's 1703 Baptism Registration now introduces us to 7-times Great-Grandparents David and Margaret (née Crawfoord) Scott.
7-times Great-Grandfather David Scott was a fermourer.
Of course, I have created a new Patrick Scott Descendant Chart. This new Chart includes GGGGGG-Grandfather Patrick Scott's wife, GGGGGG-Grandmother Euphame Horn.
The Chart also includes their 9 children. I have been able to find the Baptism Registrations of each of the nine. I will provide them at a later date.
Just something that I would like to mention that may be one of my idiosyncrasies. I taught dialectical English for a number years in my tenure as a Teacher. When I search and find the first document relating to an ancestor of mine, I typically will enter the first spelling of a name that I may encounter into my genealogy database. As we know, individuals may have multiple renditions and spellings of their names. Any additional one that I come across I will also enter the new one as an "alternate name".
The search continues. And I just keep on going.
Also, let me know if you would like an invitation to access to my Smith Robertson Family Tree on Ancestry. You can email me at jsmith58@gmail.com.
If you have any comment, question, thought, idea please feel free to contact me via email at A Genealogy Hunt or jsmith58@gmail.com.
