I'm not quite sure how the name of Noble came to Scotland. I am presently researching my family tree and have a William Noble born in 1666 and living in and/or around Biggar.
According to research done by my father, there is a record of a Peter Noble living in Warwickshire in 1155. A Robert le Noble is mentioned in the Curia Regis Rolls as living in Huntingfordshire around 1206. The Hundred Rolls mention a Hugh le Noble living in Bedfordshire in 1273.
One theory is that the name Noble came originally from France in the form of le Noble, Literally meaning one of noble bearing.
My family tree starts with William Noble (1666) who married a Christian Dobie and had with her 10 children.
If this information is of use I would be pleased to exchange further details.
