William de Candela's son, also William, was a benefactor of Balmerino Abbey, giving the monks the site presently occupied by the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther. Henry in the next generation, discontinued the name Candela and is described as'Henricus de Anstrother dominus ejusdem' in a charter confirming grants to Balmerino.

His son, another Henry, accompanied the crusade of Lious IX of France to the Holy Land. He was obliged to swear fealty to Edward I in 1292 and again in 1296.

In the 8th generation, in 1483, Andrew Anstruther of Anstruther obtained confirmation of the barony and was among the Scottish nobles that fought at Flodden in 1513. He married Christina Sandilands who was descended from Sir James Sandilands of Calder and Princess Jean, or Joanna, daughter of Robert II. His younger son, David, fought at Pavia in 1520 in the King of France's Scots Regiment; his descendants died out in the male line with the death of the last Baron d'Anstrude in 1928.
