PREFACE

THE MAcKENzIEs are to-day without a chief. Since the death, in 1907, of James Fowler Mackenzie of Allangrange, the last chief, no claimant appears to have come forward, with the exception (and that posthumously) of the late Colonel Alexander Francis Mackenzie of Ord. Gallant officer, perfect gentleman, he .might well have been chosen by the Clan to represent them.

Some, even in these changed and ever-changing times, still cling to right of birth, and would have the heir male of the last Chief proved to be such without dispute ; others would make their choice from among the few lairds who still hold their ancient heritage; while others again would include the eldest son of an heir female, or even the heir female herself, being in possession of the family estates and bearing the name and arms of her paternal ancestors. All these considerations are. for the Clan rather than for the genealogist.

· To find to-day the true representative of the Mackenzies who, the attainder removed, would be Earl of Seaforth and Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, may be a matter of very great difficulty, perhaps a hopeless quest. Nevertheless. something of the kind has been attempted, by taking the pedigrees back step by step, in order of seniority, and noting in its proper place the existence of any family, whose genealogy has not been traced. If the whole question has been made plainer and something added to what is already known, the writer's task will not have been in vain. D. W.

Although Major Warrand, who died in February 1946, and who was the fourth son of Colonel A. J. C. Warrand of Bught, Inverness, and Ryefield, Conon Bridge, and a great grandson of Major H. R. Duff of Muirtown. Inverness, the editor of the original volume of "Culloden Papers," which appeared in 1815, wrote the above in 1937, it is as true and applicable to-day as it was 28 years ago. That, therefore, is why, after all these years, the book is at last being published.

The delay is regretted, but it was unavoidable, the author himself. the second world war, the author's death, and subsequent difficulties all being partly responsible. R. C. & SONS.

SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES

I.

KINTAIL AND SEAFORTH

IT is not too much to say that the histories of the Clan Mackenzie, histories co1npiled for the most part in the dangerous seventeenth century, are wholly unreliable, at all events prior to 1475. The late Sheriff Macphail, whose knowledge of and sympathy with the Highlands· have been a:mply recognised, was clearly of this opinion. "In particular," he wrote, "it may be pointed out that there is nothing to justify the alleged Geraldine origin of the Mac­ kenzies, and also that there is no record evidence for the existence of any of .their alleged chiefs prior to Kenneth-a-bhlair, who rose to a position of some importance towards the end of the fifteenth century on the fall of John, Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross." (1475).1 The absence of record evidence in these early times may not in itself be conclusive proof of a fabulous genealogy, but it is at leas.t highly suspicious, the more so that the early charters, once cited in histories, not only do not now exist, but, if they did, are almost certainly spurious. Even possession of Ellandonan, prior to the latter part of the fifteenth century, must be matter of conjecture. Sheriff Macphail was of opinion that Kenneth-a-bhlair was a native, not of Kin tail, hut of Easter Ross, 2 and a Gaelic manuscript, cited in the article upon Seaforth in The Scots! Peerage, trac'es the origin of the clan to the Aird, in the neighbourhood of. Beauly, a district intimately associated with the Frasers of Lovat.

\T ery certainly the landed possessions of the fa:mily, when their history can be traced: lay at first as much in the east as in the west, and their eastern_ fastness was upon the island in Loch Kinellan, near Strathpeffer, at least till the end of the sixteenth century, before the Castle of Brahan was built. In either case the Mackenzies would appear to have been vassals

1 S.H.S., Highland Papers, II., 4. 2 Idem, 21, note 2. 2 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES of the Earls of Ross., whose male line failed about 1372, to be followed by the last Earl's daughter and tJhen by her son, Earl Alexander, who died in 1402. From now onwards, in spite of Earl Alexander having left a daughter, Euphemia, Donald, Lord of the Isles, began to prosecute his claim, based on his marriage with Earl Alexander's only sister. The battle of Harlaw, in 1411, was the result of Donald's ambition, but the forces of the Regent proved in the end too strong for him. 1The Regent was, indeed, very per­ sonally interested in the matter, having obtained from Euphemia a resigna­ tion of the earldom in favour of his son. It was left to Donald's heir to join the earldom of Ross with the dignity of Lord of the Isles. In the history of the Mackenzies, the position of the earldom in the first ihalf of the fifteenth century is of peculiar importance, because the clan historians, if they are right, state that the then supposed chief sided with the Crown. In view of the fact that the earldom, as stated, had passed to the Regent's- son, this was an excellent step to take in the interests of the family. Later, it would seem, when the Lords of the Isles were established in the earldom, the Mackenzie of the day received grants of land from them, and more grants from the Crown, when that earldom was forfeited.

The article on Seaforth in The Scots Peerage really begins with Alexander Mackenzie, the upright, though five supposed chiefs. are placed (quantum valeant) before [hirn. Of these the las.t is- Murdoch who is said to have died in 1416. In 1414, therefore, !he may be presumed to have been getting on in years, the father of sons, and there is record evidence for the existence of Kenneth, son of Murdoch of Ross, who was· then engaged in the pacification of that district-"et Keneath Murdhieson de Rosse laboranti in partibus Rossie ,pro quiete regni ex causa considerata super compotum xli. " 3 Again, in 1415, Alexander, son of Murdoch, and Rory, lhis brother, were prisoners in Inverness Castle-"et pro mensa Alexandri Murcherson et Ruthery fratris sui malefactorum ibidem in carceribus pro utilatate republice XIII Ii.' '4 These references may, indeed, have no relation to the Mackenzies (though it is by no means clear when that surname was first adopted), but at least one is furnished with an Alexander, son of Murdoch, as required by the family histories. With Alexander the account of the family commences.

i Alexander Mackenzie, known as Alexander Ionraic (the upright), had, according to The Scots Peerage, both from John, Earl of Ross, and from the Crown, after the forfeiture of that earldom, several grants of land. His name, however, as Sheriff Macphail points out, does· not appear in the

3 E.R. IV., 228. 'Idem. KIN·TAIL AN,D SEAFORTH 3

Register of the Great Seal or in any other public record.5 Moreover, the second grant mentioned seems to have a date considerably later than that of Alexander's death, which is given as 1488. A ·more likely date of death is 1472-"dyed verie aged at Kinellan anno 1472. "6 The clan genealogist's account seems to ring true, because lhe would most likely have preferred that Alexander had died at Ellandonan. Even he, in this respect, associates Alexander with the eas.t and not with the west, and the grants of land, as given in The Scots Peerage, are all in the east. The conclusion seems to be that the western estates, with the Castle of Ellandonan, even if acquired, were of secondary importance till fille time of Alexander's son and successor, Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail. Into the question of Alexander's marriages, real or imaginary, it is not proposed to enter. His three sons,7 as given in the genealogies, were as follows:- 1. Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, of whom hereafter.

2. Duncan Mackenzie, believed to have been the ancestor of HILTON. See that pedigree.

3. Hector Mackenzie, ancestor of GAIRLOCH, for whose existence there is abundant proof. He had the wardship of his nephew, John Mackenzie of Kintail, as appears hereafter, and is- men­ tioned in March 1497 /8, as Auchenroy Kenzoch alias Hector Mac­ kenzie, being then accused of withholding the teinds of Tarra­ dale from the Abbey of Fearn;s and again, in 1508, as Hector Mackenzie alias Auchinroy, when he Jhad an annuity from the lands of Moy and Brahan.9 He died before 8 September 1528, when the wardship of Gairloch was. granted to Trinity College, Edinbur~h.lO With the House of Gairloc!h and its branches· it is not here proposed to deal. Their genealogy has been a:mply set forth elsewhere, and seems to be quite sufficiently proved.

2 Kenneth Mackenzie, known as Kenneth-a-bhlair (of the battle), is pre­ sumed to (have been the son of Alexander Mackenzie, and is· stated in The Scots Peerage to have been served heir to his father in the lands of Kintail in

5 S.H.S., Highland Papers, II., 13 note. 6 Idem, II., 21. 1 The Scots Peerage gives a daughter, wife of Allan Macleod of Gairloch, B A.L.C., Civil Causes. 9 E.R. 1° F.S.R. 4 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES

1488. He is described as the late Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail in i494,10a. and the to1nb in Beauly Priory bears the inscription-''Hic jacet Kenitus Mckinyth dns de Kintail q. obiit VII die Februarii, A.D. MCCCCLXXXXI." .As the date is doubtless according to the church calendar, lhe really died 7 February 1492, and not 1491, as generally stated.lob Sheriff Macphail writes of this Kenneth, that he "is the first of the family who appears in the public records. Originally tenant of lands in Easter Ross, he apparently failed to pay the rent, and Lord Lovat, who was his cautioner, had the estate of Kynnell apprised from him in consequence (Exchequer Rolls, vol. VIII, p. 597; vol. IX, p. 405; Reg. Mag. Sig., Aug, 31, 1480). From the accounts· of the Crown Chamberlain of Ross, 1483-1486, it appears that he asserted that he had a charter from the Earl of Ross of the lands of Moyne and others in Easter Ross, but he was able to produce only a copy of the alleged deed (Exchequer Rolls, vol. IX, p. 405.) It seems on the whole pretty certain that he was a native, not of Kintail, but of Easter Ross·, and that he rose to importance on the forfeiture of the Earl of Ross in 1475. "ll This is most likely, but he certainly owned Kin tail, and the Clan Mac­ kenzie in his time was recognised as such.

In 1499 Lord Huntly, who was Sheriff of Inverness, issued a warrant against the Clan Mackenzie, in connection with the depredations formerly committed by them, both in Strathglass and in the lordship of Ard­ meanach,12 and, though Kenneth-a-bhlair still inhabited his island in Loch l(inellan, he had his eye upon Redcastle in Ardmeanach, which he actually wrested from Rose of Kilravock.12a. Later, the Mackenzie came to own it legally. According to a family genealogist, Kenneth's death took place at Kinellan, in 1491, and he was buried at Beauly, "all his predecessors being former lie buried at Icolmkyll (Iona), as their tomb at that place doth yet testifie." "There seems," comments Sheriff Macphail, "no truth in this statement. ''13 Concerning the marriage or marriages of Kenneth-a-bhlair much ink has flowed, and it may seem rash to use more.

12a Hugh Rose of Kilravock was granted the keepership of Redcastle and the lands of .Ard­ meanach in 1482, and in 1484 he made a payment on this account. In 1492 there was an acquit­ tance for the dues of Ardmeanach, which clearly shows that the Mackenzies had been in possession. Lord Huntly's warrant in 1499 refers to what had gone before and not to current events. (S.O. Kilravo.ck, 147, 150, 170.) See Page 6. 13 S.H.S., Highland Papers, II., 25 and note. KINT AIL AND SEAFORTH 5

That he ·may have bad a first wife is not improbable, that she was a daughter of Alexander, Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross, as stated,14 is most improbable, because this Earl seems to have died in 1449. The Scots Peerage in the Seaforth article makes her a daughter of Alexander's son and suc­ cessor, John, Lord of the Isles and Earl of Ross, but in the article upon the Lords of the Isles it is stated that Earl John had no issue.15 Even had she been illegitimate, it is difficult to believe that, as the supposed mother of his supposed heir, wild as lhe appears to have been, Kenneth would have made mock of her infirmity, and sent her a,vay from Kinellan on a one­ eyed horse, accompanied by a one-eyed attendant and a one-eyed dog.16 If there be any truth in this legend, it ·may have been in respect of some con­ cubine. There would appear, from the various accounts of the family, to have been many such at different times; and from the particulars related of Kenneth-a-bhlair's supposed heir, "Kenneth Og," it would seem that he not infrequently added to the Clan ,Mackenzie, as he travelled about the country.17 In the confusion of the different accounts and in the misreading of any records there may be, one fact clearly emerges-there never was a Kenneth Og, heir to Kenneth-a-bhlair, and, if he existed at all, fhe must have been hopelessly illegitimate. In either case the difficulty of bolstering up a fictitious ·marriage with a daughter of the Lord of the Isles is avoided. The Scots Peerage can only quote family genealogy for the existence of Kenneth Og, 18 who is supposed to have been killed at Torwood, near Stirling, not later than i499,19 though the writer of the Applecross M.S. states that this happened to the young chief in 1488,20 forgetting perhaps that he had already given the fathe1" as living till 1491. As Kenneth Og is stated to have been a prisoner in Edinburgh Castle with the young Mackintosh Chief, one rnay turn to the historian of the Mackintoshes for light on the problem, and we read, 21 that the Great Chamberlain's account from 21 July 1501, to 1 July 1502. speaks of him and Kenneth Mackenzie as in Edinburgh Castle for a year before 9 January 1502, credit being taken ''pro expensis Ferquhardi Mackintoshe, Kenyeoth Beg (Ma;ckenzie) . . . . existentium in warde in dicto castro per annum integrum ante nonum J anuarii infra hoc compotum.'' Even if Kenneth "Beg" be the same person as Kenneth "Og," quite clearly

14 Idem, 21. 15 This is challenged, however, by the late Mr D. Murray Rose, in a letter to The Inverness Courier, 27 February 1923. l6 See Mackenzie, p. 87. 17 See S.H.S., Highland Papers, II., 27. 18 The reference is to S.H.S., Macfarlane, I., 61. 19 S.H.S., Highland Papers, II., 27 note. 20 Idem, 27. 21 A. M. Mackintosh, The Mackintoshes and Olan Ohattan, 93, 6 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES he was not the eldest son and heir of Kenneth-a-bhlair, because there is on record a complaint by John Kenzoch of Kintail, dated 13 March 1500/1,22 which clearly establishes him as having succeeded his father some consider­ able time before that date.23 Further trouble has arisen, on the supposition that Lord Huntly, as the King's Lieutenant, granted warrant against Kenneth Mackenzie and the :Clan Mackenzie for sundry wrongdoings committed in 1499,24 and Mackenzie in his History of the Maclfenzies,25 making worse con­ fusion, places the episode in the time of John Mackenzie of Kintail, Kenneth­ a-bhlair's real heir. Quite clearly the document mentions Kenneth Mac­ kenzie and his Clan, but it is in the nature of a protection for Rose of Kilravock, with reference to what had passed some years before. Kilravock, while he held the lordship of Ardm·eanach and Redcastle, had suffered severely at the hands of Kenneth-a-bhlair, but the burning and slaying, authorised in retaliation by Lord Huntly, would seem to have been on a somewhat large scale. The testimonial is dated 15 December 1499, and mention is made of Sir Alexander Dunbar, as Huntly's "Sheriff depute for the time of Inverness,/'' Apart from other evidence, the events, to wlhich reference is made,. were in any case not then current, because Sir Alexander Dunbar was dead before 20 June 1499.26. Kenneth Og then would seem to disappear, and with him his n1other, ,vhoever she ·may have been. Kenneth-a-bhlair's wife, and (according to all accounts) the mother of Ibis children, was undoubtedly Agnes Fraser. On 17 June 1494, David Ross of Balnagown was. ordered to restore to Agnes Fraser (Fresale), spouse of the late Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, "s.even score of Ky spulzied from Kinellan n ;27 so that the widow was still living at Kinellan and not at Ellandonan. Cattle raiding, however, was not unknown to the Mackenzies; as an instance, Munro of Foulis, in 1498, pursued Hector Mackenzie, the young chief's uncle and tutor, for the restitution of 200 ky and oxen.2s The parentage of Agnes Fraser is not proved, but the fact that Hugh, Lord Fraser of Lovat, was Kenneth-a-bhlair's cautioner in 148029 strengthens the tradition that she was Lovat's daughter. The wooing may have been rough, but scarcely in the manner described, 30 and it is certainly to be believed that Agnes came from Lovat to Kinellan, as a Yvife and not as a

Her eldest son, John, seen1s immediately to have lJeen recognised as the heir, under the guardianship of !his uncle, Hector Mackenzie, after­ wards of Gairloch. Whatever quarrels the nephew and the uncle may have had, when accounts came to be settled, there is no evidence to prove that they went deeper than wlhat is ordinary in fa·milies on these occasions, nothing, indeed, to show that the young chief was. looked upon as a bastard. Had that been so, letters of legitimation must surely have been issued at some date, more especially because Kintail was held of the Crown. It may therefore be presumed that Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail and his wife, Agnes Fraser, had lawful issue four sons and two daughters:- 1. John Mackenzie of Kin tail, of whom hereafter. 2. Alexander Mackenzie, ancestor of DAV0CHMALUAG. See that pedigree- 3. Rory (Mor) l\tlackenzie, from whose natural children descended the families of ACHILTY and FAIRBURN and their branches. See those pedigrees. 4. Kenneth Mackenzie, presumed to have been ancestor of KILCHRIST and SUDDIE, and INVERLAEL. See these pedigrees. 1. Agnes, wife of Rory Macleod of the Lewes. On 24 i\pril 1554, John Mackenzie of Kin tail took burden for Torquil Macleod, his oy (here presumably meaning neplhew) and colleagues, in the matter of a raid on Assynt.31 In 1566 an attempt was made to throw doubts upon the virtue of Agnes and to bastardise her son.32 2. Catherine, stated to have been wife of Hector Munro of Foulis.

John Mackenzie of K.intail, known as John of Killin, would appear to have been born about i480, and succeeded his father, Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, in 1492. "If one may judge," wrote Sheriff Macphail, "from the cJharters in his favour recorded in the Register of the ,Great Seal, it was he to whom the subsequent importance of the Mackenzies was largely due."33 In i50i, as "John Kenzeoch of Kintail," he lodged a complaint against Hector Mackenzie, after\vards of Gairlocih, his eme (uncle). John had obtained "our soverane lorde's letters direct til the schiref of Ross and his deputies chargeing him to call the saide Hector intromettour with all and

William Munro of Foulis, sheriff depute of Ross, had found that the said Hector was to pay to the said John yearly the sum of 25 merks during the time of the ward, which finding was endorsed by the Lords of Council, who ordered this amount to be paid by Hector, from the time of the enquiry by Munro, ''and yearly in tyme to cum enduring the tyme of the saide ward," for his main­ tenance. As to sums to be paid before Munro's enquiry, John was to call upon his uncle in respect of them, and justice would be administered.34 A few days later the Lords had to deal wit~ another complaint by John against Hector Mackenzie, and, as a result, Hector was ordered to restore 24 stud mares at 30s apiece and 36 young mares at 20s, apiece and the profits thereof, extending to 20 merks yearly for eight years past.35 This shows that Hector Mackenzie had obtained the wardship immediately after the death of John's .father. On 25 February 1508/9 John received a crown charter upon his own resignation of the lands of Kintail, Killin, etc., all erected into the barony of Ellandonan.aa He was often employed by the Crown to help in the administration of his own district. In 1514 Ross of Balnagown was cfhosen for the "rule of Ross" in the eastern parts, and for the western parts Mac­ kenzie of Kintail and Munro of Foulis.37 In 1531 Kintail was to be free of any summons raised against hi'm until the next session, because he was resisting the rebels of the Isles, being in the King's service with the King's lieutenant, James, Earl of Moray.38 Much also may be read about him in Mackenzie's History of the Mackenzies, and other works. Neither he nor his eldest son, Kenneth Mackenzie of Brahan, afterwards of Kintail, could sign their names.38a He died 26 January i560/i39; at Invercarron, according to the Applecross MS., which states that he was buried at Beauly.

Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, known as Kenneth na Cuirc (of the whittle -a knife), son and heir of John Mackenzie of Kintail, appears, during this father's lifetime, as Kenneth Mackenzie of Brahan, and as such was served heir, i5 April 1561,41 after which time he is described as of Kintail. He was sheriff-depute of Inverness in 1'564-.42 Though he was Chief only for seven years, his activities see·m to have been considerable before he succeeded to the estates. The "Applecross MS." quaintly relates that he was a very active man and that "He burnt and harried Slait twice for his pleasure; he apprehended John Glassreh M'Eachin (John Glassich Mackenzie of Gair­ loch) and putt him in Ellandanton (Ellandonan) qr he dyed. " 43 Some say that Mackenzie of Gairloch was poisoned in 1550. He certainly died in July of that year, as appears by an inquest held at Inverness, 1 February 1562/3, when his son and heir was declared to be, though a minor, of legal age. 44 Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail died 7 July 1568, as appears by an inquest held 6 May 1570. 45 The place of death is stated to have been Killin (close to Garve), of which property his father was known, and the place of burial Beauly.

He married Isobel Stewart46 otherwise Elizabeth Stuart.47 The Scots Peerage, under Atholl, names her as a daugihter of John, Earl of Atholl, but is not sure of the marriage with Kintail. The same work (under Seaforth) definitely states that she was the wife of Kin tail. They had issue three sons and six daughters:- 1. Murdoch Mackenzie is stated to have outlived his fatr.her but one year. There were certainly three sons alive in 1560, when Rory is na·med as the third son,48 and, as the inquest which proved Colin to be the heir was not held till May i570, it is probable that Murdoch died in i569. It would appear49 that irt 1566 a contract was. made at Dingwall for a marriage between Kenneth Mackenzie on the part of his son, Murdoch, and Margaret Mack­ intosh. Robert Munro of Foulis and Donald Mackintosh (? of Kyllachy) were parties.

In 1577 the Crown confirmed to Janet Mackenzie, sister-german of Colin Mackenzie of Kintail, a grant to her by Alexander Chisholm of CO'mer.51

2. Agnes, wife of Lachlan Mackintosh of Mackintosh, 52 whom she survived. In 1613 she was put to the horn by Richard Gordon, burgess of Inverness, to induce her to deliver up three silver drinking cups.53 Some years later she is on record as among those w:ho remained contumaciously at the horn,54 that is, she !had not settled with her creditors.

50 Though The Scots Peerage gives Dugald as fourth son, quoting the Privy Council Register, a reference to that authority shows that, in 1582, Glengarry lodged a complaint against Kintail and Rory Mackenzie, his brother-german, and also against "Dowgall Mackenzie," his brother, in this case, natural brother. The Applecross MS. does not pretend that he was anything else. 51 Origines Parochiales, II., part 2, p. 517. 52 A. M. Mackintosh: The MackintoBhes and Clan Chattan, 146. 53 P.R.H.

5 Colin Mackenzie of Kintail, second but eldest surviving son of Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, was known as Colin Cam, the one-eyed (though cam may also ·mean bent or crooked). He was served heir to his. father 6 May i570 and 5 October 1574.60 There was a sasine in his favour in 1571, of the lands and barony of Ellandonan, containing the lands of Kintail in the Earldom of Ross and many other lands, except tho~e which tJhe late Kenneth Mackenzie and Elizabeth Stewart, his spouse, had owned in conjunct fee.61 The "Applecross MS." say.s of him: that he was a "tender, feeblie man but wise and judicious and had much trouble in his tyme with the feud of neighbours against whom he had always the lawes of the country and his. brother Rorie Moire still acted in the fields and put the law in executione. " 62 It is certainly true that Rory "acted in the fields," but whether to the advantage of existing laws seems doubtful. Kintail's own doings, as mentioned in The Scots Peerage, are certainly open to criticism. He ended his life, however, as Sheriff of Inverness and a me-mber of the Privy Council. He died i9 June 1594, at Redcastle,63 at his brother Rory's !house, and is stated to have been buried at Beauly.

He married, contract 26 April 1572, Barbara, daughter of John Grant of Freuchie. 64

They had issue six sons and five daughters:- !. Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, created Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, of whom hereafter. 2.

In 1615, as brother-german of the late Kenneth, Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, . he acted as attorney for Colin, Lord Mackenzie of Kintail.68 It appear.s by an inhibition and arrestment, at the instance of his elder daughter and co-heir and others, in 1649,69 that Murdoch was of ·Melbost and at one time of Inverewe, that in 1637 George, Earl of Seaforth, granted to the said Murdoch and his wife a bond for 2000 merks; that in i640 he granted another bond to their son for 3100 merks; and in 1641 another bond to their son for 1000 merks, the son being therein designed as "lawful son of Murdo Mackenzie of Inverewe,69a. uncle to the said Earl"; that in 1644 the said Earl granted yet another bond to the son for 1000 merks. On the death of the son, his sisters assigned these bonds to Alexander Mackenzie of Kilcoy and ~Colin Mackenzie of Munlochy, !his eldest son and !heir, and in 1649 Murdoch's widow granted a similar assignation for her interest. At the date of the inhibition Lord Seaforth had made no payment whatever. It would appear from the proceedings that Murdoch must have died not long after 1637.

Kenneth Mackenzie, fourth Earl of Seaforth and fifth Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, was baptised at Kinghorn, 8 December 1661,129 and was served heir to !his father in part of the fa1nily estates, 1 March 1681.130 He was nominated a Privy Councillor in 1686, and Sir John Lauder of Fountainhall notes, under date 11 November 1686,131 that "at Privy Council there is a letter from the King nominating the Earl of Seaforth, a papist (by the Marquis of Powis his father-in-law's power) a Privy Counsellor, with a dis­ pensation from the oath of test.'' It would seem that his marriage [had caused him to go over to Rome, a change of religion which was to cause much trouble to the family. He was made a Knight of the Thistle, in 1687, on the revival of that order, and, from the time t!hat his sovereign's misfor­ tunes began, he remained loyal. Undoubtedly he was with him in Ireland, from the time of his landing, in March 1689, till after the battle of the Boyne,

The Complete Peeragel33 suggests 1691 (but there is no positive proof), and points out that, though J ameR VII. had ceased to reign in England after Dece-mber 1688, !he was still King of Scotland till April 1689, and, presumably, of Ireland till his defeat in June 1690. The new honours must, however, be presumed to be among the Jacobite peerages, unless it could be proved that they had been created in or before April 1689, in the peerage of Scotland, but no such titles appear among the records. It is certain, however, that Lord Seaforth was frequently called Marquess, at least among his friends, though it seems that the dignity was not officially recognised.134 The son, too, received private recognition. "Make my humble duty acceptable to my dear Marquis of Seafort. God send him soon home,'' wrote John Forbes of Culloden, in 1732.135 It is during the time of the fourth Earl that the Brahan Seer is said to have lived, 136 some of whose prophecies still await fulfilment. Kenneth, fourth Earl of Seaforth, suffered imprisonment for his loyalty and his religion, and, on his release,: went abroad. He died in Paris shortly before May 1701, when lhis mother wrote concerning Forbes of Culloden's "kyndness and friendship to my dearest sone that is gon, whose death is a very sad strok to me . . . he was the great joy of my lyf, and the suport of my age. "137 He married, in or before 1686, 1as the Lady Frances Herbert, daughter of Willia·m, first Marquess of Powis, who was created Marquess of Mont­ gomery and Duke of Powis by King James VII. after his English abdica­ tion.139 She died 16 December 1732-''the Duch (sic) Dowager of Seaforth at Paris.

"Lord Caryll" died in 1711 and was 1buried, 6 Septem·ber, as Ministre d'Etat de leurs Majestes Britanniques. " 144 I-lis nephew, Lady Mary's father-in-law, who ,vould have succeeded, had the peerage not been a Jacobite one, died at Ladyholt 18 April 1736.145 Her husband had died 6 April 1718.146 She is said to have married secondly Francis Sempill, also a Jacobite.147 By her first husband she had a son, another John Caryll. She died 3 April 1740,148 and was buried in the Caryll Chapel a.t Harting. An invitation to the requiem mass in Paris was as follows':-"Vous estes priez d'assister au service pour le. repos de l'a·me de Haute et Puissante Dame Madame :Marie Mackenzie, veuve de My Lord Caryll Baron de Dunford; seigneur de Lady Holt et autres lieux, Pair d'Angleterre, decedee a Landres ie 14e du present mois: qui se sera Mardy 26 Avril 1740, a neuf heures de matin en Eglise du College des Ecossais, sossez s.

10 William, fifth Earl of Seaforth and sixth Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, succeeded his father in 1701, and it was proposed that he should be put under the care of Duncan Forbes of Culloden. "I am fully perswaded the child will be better a great deal wiVh you than hear [Brahan]," wrote the boy's grandmother, the old countess.15o But this did not suit the views of his ·mother, the younger countess, who, on her way to Edinburgh, stopped with Culloden's brother, Dr Jonathen Forbesi, at Elgin; as a result of which it was made perfectly clear that she was re.solute that Culloden should not ''meddle derectly or inderectly with her son, except ye disobleidge her exceedingly.

out of the kingdom to be popishly bred, " 152 in the teeth of the Govern­ ment's wishes. Both the Rising of i 715 and the Affair of Glenshiel, in i7i9, saw Lord Seaforth active in the Stuart cause, and, as a re.suit of the former, the title of Earl of Seaforth was attainted and his estates forfeited, in 1716. It lhas sometimes been suggested that the barony of Mackenzie of Kintail, not having been expressly mentioned, was not in­ cluded in the attainder. This view, however, in the event of a claim being made, would be unlikely to receive consideration. Lord Seaforth spent the latter part of his life in the Lewes, where he died 8 January 1740.153

He married, 22 April 1715,154 Mary, daughter and heiress of Nicholas Kennet of Coxhow, Northumberland. She died in France in August 1739 "in her way to Scotland. "155

They had issue three sons and a daug.hter:-

1. Kenneth Mackenzie, styled Lord Fortrose,156 but for the attainder sixth Earl of Seaforth and seventh Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, of whom hereafter.

2. Ranald Mackenzie was born about 1725 and was entered at the Scots College at Douai, at the age of seven, 11 October 1732, "ex patre Marchione de Seaforth et matre Maria Kennet."157 He is always stated to have died unmarried or without issue, though no definite proof seems to have been produced. Had he, or any son, however, been alive in 1781 (on the death of Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth, of the new creation, and heir male to the attainted titles), the old earldom of Seaforth would not have been assumed, as, it undoubtedly was assumed, by his cousin of the Assynt line.

3. Nicholas Mackenzie was born about 1728. On 18 December 1735 lhe was entered at the Scots College at Douai, as Ranald's brother, aged seven years and a half, and it is stated that he went to Paris to study law.158 He died in 1774. "I have lost one of my best friends in this country,'' wrote John . Farquharson to Bishop Forbes, 1 January 1775, from Dunkirk.

''He went a skating the 8th December on the ice, which proved too weak, and he fell in and was misfortunately drowned . . . His body is buried in the Scots College in Douay.'' 159 There ihas never been any suggestion that he was married or left issue. 1. Frances, a great beauty, was married in Edinburgh, in f 744, to John Gordon, who, but for the attainder, would have suc­ ceeded as eighth Viscount Kenmure.iao

ii Kenneth Mackenzie, styled Lord Fortrose, the second of his grand­ father's Jacobite titles, would but for the attainder have been sixth Earl of Seaforth and seventh Lord Mackenzie of Kintail. As Kenneth Mackenzie, commonly called Lord Fortrose, he was served heir-general to his father, 27 July 1741. 161 In correspondence, however, he always signed himself "K. Mackenzie, " 162 and sat in Parliament, as a commoner, at first for the Inverness Burghs and later for the shire of Ross. Of !his early life practically qothing seems to be known. He was born about 1718 and was therefore considerably ypunger than Sir Alexander Macdonald of Sleat, who was sent to the University of St Andrews in 1726.163 Yet we are told that he and Sir Alexander were school companions, of Prince Charles Edward and first suggested to him an attempt to regain his kingdom! 164 It seems certain, that "Lord Fortrose" was brought up as a Protestant, that in due course he got back the estate.s and that the fortunes of the family tegan again to prosper.· During the Forty-five he relied much upon the advice of Duncan Forbes of Culloden, which he "would always follow, "165 and the disaffection of part of the Clan, under Lord Cromartie, seems to have caused him real distress. In his later years he lived much in London. He died there, in Grosvenor Street, i8 October i 76i, 166 and was buried in W estrninster Abbey. He married, contract ii September i74i, the Lady Mary Stewart, daughter of Alexander, sixth Earl of Galloway.167 She died 10 April 1751-"Lady of Lord Fortrose, member for Inverness. "168

Of the men, 500 had been raised from his own estates and some 400 more from the estates of other Mackenzies. On their final inspection ''the whole were found so effective that not one ·man was rejected.'' Seaforth, as their Colonel, embarked with them, in 1781, for India,175 but died on the voyage, in August of that year. In the spring he had completed the sale of the lands and estate of Seaforth to his cousin, T!homas Frederick Mackenzie Humberston, by a disposition of 9 January, followed by a bond of 12 January, granted by the said Thomas, for £100,000 stg.176

He married (1), 7 October i 765, l 77 the Lady Caroline Stanhope, eldest daughter of William, s:econd Earl of Harrington. She died 9 F:ebruary 1767. He married (2) Harriet Powell, a great beauty of the day. The Scots Magazine records her death, ii December 1779:-''On board the packet­ boat coming from Guernsey to. Southampton, the Lady of Earl Seaforth, Colonel of the 78th Regiment of Foot." He had issue by his first wife, the Lady Caroline Stanhope, a daughter:- i. Caroline Maria, born 6 July 1766,178 had an annuity from the Seaforth estates of £'5000 stg. a year,179 which as "Lady Caroline Maria Mackenzie, daughter and only child of the late Kenneth Earl of Seaforth,'' she, in i 791, conveyed to the Rev. James Mackenzie, late of Grenada but then living in Banff .180 She is said to have married, as bis second wif;e, Louis Pierre Francis Malcolm Drummond, great-grandson of John Drummond, first Earl of Melfort. On the death, in 1781, of Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth, of the new (Irish) creation and, but for the attainder, seventh Earl of Seaforth and eighth Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, of the old creations, it is safe to say that there were no male descendants left of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh Earls. To find who was then the true heir to the attainted titles and to the chieftainship, it is necessary to go back to the descendants of John Mackenzie of Assynt, im·mediate younger brother of Kenneth, fourth Earl of Seaforth, and second son of Kenneth, third Earl of Seaforth.

MACKENZIE OF ASSYNT

i

John Mackenzie of Assynt, in Sutherland, is named as second lawful son of the late Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth, in April 1696.1 He was educated at King's College, Aberdeen, where he took his degree in 1684.2 There­ after he went to France, where, 5 March 1685, as "Jean McKensie, frere du Comte de Seaforth," he abjured the Protestant religion.3 Lord Seaforth himself had lately gone, or soon after, was to go over to Rome. John Mackenzie was certainly back in Scotland in 1690, when he witnessed, 23 October, a baptism at Alves. In 1701 he was infeft in parts of the lordship of Kintail, upon a contract of wadset between Isobel, Countess of Seaforth, with consent of her eldest son, Lord Seaforth, and of himself.4 He was M.P. for Fortrose from 1702 till his death, 26 June 1705.5 On 18 October 1711 his testament dative and inventory were given up by Alex­ ander Mackenzie of Applecross, mention being made of a lease, dated in 1700, of the lands and barony of Lewes for 9 years, from i 701, to the said Applecross. 6 1 I

He ·married, contract 20 March 1697, Sibella, eldest daugihter of Alexander Mackenzie of Applecross. She had a rent charge of 1000 merks Scots out of the barony of A.ssynt and was infeft therein, in Sep­ tember 1702. The contract of marriage was signed at Fortrose and was witnessed by her brother-in-law, Kenneth, described as Marquess of Seaforth.7

They had issue one son:-

That he was the only son appears by a sasine, dated i December 1709, in favour of Kenneth Mackenzie, brother­ german to Alexander Mackenzie of Applecross, of the barony of Assynt, upon a disposition by Captain Do~ald Macleod of Geanies, with consent of Colonel Alexander l\tlackenzie of the Foot Guards, brother-german to the late Mr John Mackenzie of Assynt, and uncle and tutor to Kenneth Mac­ kenzie, only lawful son of the said Mr John Mackenzie.a He was, in 1710, at school in Fortrose, dwelling in Dr Mackenzie's house, his uncle and tutor being then in Spain.9 He was served heir, 23 November 1716, to his grandmother, Isobel, Countess '"Of Seaforth, and, 3 October 1719, to his uncle, Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth, in both cases as heir-general of the reformed religion, though it seems doubtful wlhether he was a genuinely Protestant stalking horse. He was further served heir to his father, 2 July i 723.IO His first cousin, William, fifth Earl of Seaforth, had come under the Act of 23 November 1700 for preventing the growth of Popery,11 and it was very necessary, for the preservation of the family estates, to have some Protestant !heir. Therefore Kenneth Mackenzie served that purpose and presented to the Church of Gairloch, in i7i7, as Protestant heir of the late Isobel, Countess of Seaforth.12 The service to his grand­ mother, the said Countess, was, \Ve are told,13 intended for the honour and interest of Seaforth, and was to benefit the nearest [heir succeeding. The said Kenneth agreed to hold the es.tates on this understanding, with the consent of Colonel Alexander Mackenzie, his sole curator, uncle to the present Seaforth (William, fifth Earl) and to the said Kenneth, and the said Kenneth also agreed to ratify the agreement, when he came of age. His tenure of the Seaforth estates seems to have been upheld by the Court of Session but, on an appeal by the Com·missioners of the Forfeited Estates to the House of Lords, the decision of the Court of Session was reversed.14 Thereafter, until their restoration, the estates were administered as forfeited by the Act of 1716. In 1726 Kenneth Mackenzie, witJh consent of his uncle, the said Colonel Alexander Mackenzie, wadsetted the estate of Assynt to John Mackenzie of Ardloch,15 and in 1736 he disponed the said estate to William, '~late Lord Seaforth," that is to his cousin, the attainted Earl. The disposition was subscribed at Brahan Castle.16 He

was living 8 August 1752, when, as· superior of the lands of Assynt, only lawful son and heir of the late John Mackenzie of Assynt, !he granted a precept of clare constat to Alexander Mackenzie of Ardloch.17 As the precept was dated at "Grece," he was probably then living at Gress in the Lewes. He married, in or before 1729, his first cousin, Frances, daughter of Colonel Alexander Mackenzie. She was infeft as his spouse in lands in the parish of Assynt.1B She died in Edinburgh, in March 1745, and her executor-dative was John Baillie, W.S., to whom she had owed £21 stg. and interest. Her goods were rouped by the Town Clerk of Edinburgh.19

They had issue a son :-20 3 William Mackenzie was born about 1730 and, on 2 June __ 1742, was entered at the Scots College at Douai, aged 12, ''ex patre de Assint et matre Francisca Mackenzie.'' The records further relate that, on 25 August 1747, !he became a soldier, but a few montJhs later went to Wiirzburg, where he beca·me a moll/k in the Scots Abbey of the Benedictines, of which he was Prior for many years before the records were written up, in 1774.21 A list of the Abbots shows that the last one came to London in 1763, so that William Mackenzie, as Prior, must have governed that house. A further list of known monks of this Scots Abbey gives the date of the Prior's death; 9 May i 785, under the name of Benedict, and shows that he was there recognised as Earl of Seaforth. "1755 Benedictus Mackenzie Comes de Sexfort (sic), Prior. gestorben 9 Mai 1785. " 22 The assumption of the (attainted) title by the Prior furnishes additional evidence that Ranald and Nicholas Mackenzie, younger sons of the attainted William, fiftlh Earl of Seaforth, left no male issue. They were both living abroad, and it may be inferred that the Prior knew all about them. On the death, in August i 781, of Kenneth Mackenzie, created Earl of Seaforth in the peerage of Ireland, the Prior became heir n1ale of the House of Seaforth; he was, indeed, but for the attainder, eighth Earl of Seaforth and ninth Lord Mackenzie of Kintail. On his death, the succession opened to the descendants of Colonel Alex­ ander Mackenzie, third and youngest son of Kenneth, third Earl of Seaforth.

17 Idem, 19 June 1756. Writing about Assynt in 1750 (Highlands of Scotland in 1750), a Government official stated that it was then the property of a near cousin of Seaforth, "but it is at present sequestered for debt, and the proprietor is scarce one degree above an idiot." 18 Idem, 22 Nov. 1729. 19 Com.

III.

THE LATER MACKENZIES OF SEAFORTH

Colonel Alexander Mackenzie is styled in his son's monumental inscription as "of Coningsbay" and is frequently described as "of Cononsbay." There was a sasine in his, favour, 13 October 1694, as Mr Alexander Mackenzie, third lawful son now in life of the late Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth, and Isobel, Countess of Seaforth, of the lands of Kil dun, Easter Rossie, Balblair and Breckenord, in the parish of Dingwall, under reservation of tl_le lif erent of the said Countess, on a wadset by the said Countess, for payment to him of £8000 Scots, dated 9 October 1694.1 He was born 9 June 16732 and, on 18 September 1685, was entered at the Scots College at Douai as "hie White filius et frater Comitis Seaforthii." After­ wards, the record states, he deserted the faith and was made Colonel in the service of William III. 3 It would seem therefore that the three brothers were all at different times members of the Church of Rome. As previously stated, he was curator to his nephew, young Mackenzie of Assynt, and took an active part in the endeavours to keep the Seaforth estates in the family. In October 1717 there was a sasine in his favour of the lands and barony of Ellandonan, upon the right and disposition of Frances, Countess Dowager of Seaforth.4 He is stated to have died at Calda House in the parish of Assynt in i727.5

They had issue a son and five daughters:- 1. William Mackenzie, of whom hereafter. 1.

She died at Baldoon, 6 April 1725.9 2. Jane, stated to have been wife of Dr Alexander Mackenzie and to have died at New Tarbat 18 September 1776. The Dr Alexander Mackenzie, who lived at Milton of New Tarbat, had formerly practised at Elgin, and was the son of Kenneth Mackenzie, surgeon in Elgin.10 3. Mary, stated to have been the wife of Captain Dougal Stuart, youngest son of Dougall Stuart of Blairhall, brother to James, first Earl of Bute. 4.

Major William Mackenzie was born about 1710, and the monumental inscription in St Martin's Church, Stamford, co. Lincoln, records that !he was son of Colonel Alexander Mackenzie of '' Coningsbay,'' who was son12 of Kenneth Earl of Seaforth, that he was a major in the English

She died at Hadley, Herts, 12 February 1813-"Mrs Mary Humberston Mackenzie, widow of the late Major Mackenzie and mother of Lord Seaforth. "13 T!hey had issue two sons and four daughters:- 1. Thomas Frederick Mackenzie who, on succeeding to the estates of his maternal uncle, assumed the additional name of Humberston. He is stated to have been born at Macao in China in 1752, ''his mother being the first British woman who went to China to be brought to bed, a practise since much followed. " 14 In 1777 he was a Lieutenant in the 1st Dragoon Guards and, in 1781, ihe was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 100th Regiment. In that year he acquired from his cousin, Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth (created 1771) the family estates, and, on the death of his said cousin, he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of Seaforth's Highlanders (the 72nd). After distinguished service in India, !he was very severely wounded, while on board the Ranger, in an action with the Mahratta fleet, 7 April 1783. He died a few days later, a man ''of great promise in . his profession. " 15 He was not married.16 In so far as he was a British subject, he may be held to have been for two years Chief of the Mackenzies.

Though totally deaf and to a large extent dumb, he was able to take part in important public affairs, indeed it was said of him that hi_s "deafness was a merciful interposition to lower him to tihe ordinary capacity of society.' ,20 He was M.P. for Ross-shire from 1784 till 1790, and from 1794 till 1796, and, on 26 October 1797, was, created LORD SEAFORTH and LORD MACKENZIE OF KINTAIL, in the peerage of Great Britain, with limitation to the heirs male of his body. In 1793 he raised the Regi'ment known as the 78th or Ross-shire Highlanders, a second battalion following in i 794. In i 798 he was appointed Colonel of the Ross-shire Militia, which he was then engaged in raising, and in 1800 was made Governor of Barbadoes. He died in Edinburgh, 11 January 1815.21

She died in 1843 and was succeeded by her son, Keith Williarn Stewart-Mackenzie of Seaforth. He was father of the late Colonel James Alexander Francis Humberston Stewart-Mackenzie of Seaforth, who was created LORD SEAFORTH, in 1921, and died without issue. The estates then devolved upon his niece, Madeleine Cecilia Carlyle, Countess of Midleton, whose son has recently assumed the name of Stewart-Mackenzie of Seaforth. 2.

On the death, in 1815, of Francis Humberston Mackenzie (created Lord Seaforth and Lord Mackenzie of Kintail in the peerage of Great Britain), who, but for the attainder, would presumably have been ninth Earl of SeafortJh and tenth Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, the whole of the male descendants of Vhe House of Seaforth appear to have become extinct, back to the younger sons of George, second Earl of Seaforth and third Lord Mackenzie of Kintail. His second son was George Mackenzie of Kildun.

23 The story is told in Mackenzie's Prophecies of the Brahan Seer. 36

IV.

MACKENZIE OF KILDUN

i

George Mackenzie is named as second son of George, Earl of Seaforth, in 16611 and again as such in a disposition by Colin, the third son, in 1662. 2 As of Kincurdie, there was a sasine in his favour, 7 January 1664, on a disposition, dated at Fortrose, 6 January 1664, granted by Mr Rory Mackenzie, fourth lawful son now in life of the late George, Earl of Seaforth, to the said George Mackenzie, his brother, of his fifth part, and the third and equal portion of other two-fifth parts, accrescing to him, through the decease of Robert and Arthur Mackenzie, his brothers, to whom he had succeeded in right of tailzie, of the lands of Kincurdie, in the parish of Rosemarkie.3 It will be observed that the "Mr" given to tha younger brother, Rory, indicates that he had taken his degree at a University; George evidently had not, though lhe is stated to have been at King's College, Aberdeen.4 On 23 January 1683, as George Mackenzie of Kin­ curdie, there was a sasine in his favour of Kil dun, Little Pitglassie, and other lands, in the parish of Dingwall.5 He married (1) Mary, daughter of Alexander Skene of Skene, upon whom, as such and as his spouse, he, by a charter dated at Chanonry of Ross, 27 April and 6 May 1661 (which was witnessed by John Skene of that ilk) settled the liferent of the half davoch lands of Kincurdie, etc., in the parish of Rosemarkie. 6 Mackenzie of Applecross, whose genealogies were collected about 1667, correctly states that he was laird of Kincurdie, a name which has repeatedly been corrupted into Kincardine. 7 Ile is stated to have married (2) Margaret, daughter of Urquhart of Craig,house.

The Scots Peerage is silent as to any issue. Mackenzie8 states that he had issue by his first wife, Mary Skene, a son and a daughter, and other children (unnamed), who died young. 1. Kenneth Mackenzie, who is .said to !have gone abroad and disappeared. i. Isobel. By Ibis second wife, Margaret Urquhart, Mackenzie states that he had issue a son, Colin Mackenzie· of Kildun, and several other children, of whom no trace can be found. He certainly seems to have had issue, most prob­ ably by his second wife, two sons·:- 2. Colin Mackenzie of Kildun, of whom hereafter. 3. John Mackenzie, as son to George Mackenzie of Kildun, was apprenticed, 24 October 1694, to John Jollie, merchant in Edinburgfi.9 John Jollie supplied cloth, ribbons, etc., to the nobility and gentry.10

2 Colin Mackenzie of Kildun, presumed to be the second but eldest sur­ viving son of George Mackenzie of Kildun, was living in 1729. He married Anna Mackenzie, daughter of Alexander Mackenzie of Ardloch.11 They had issue two sons:- 1. George Mackenzie was entered at the Scots College at Douai, 11 April 1729, as son o"f Colin Mackenzie of Kildun and Anna Mackenzie of Ardloch. He subsequently went to Nancy, to the Jesuits, where lhe became a priest; later he was a captain in Holland.12 2. Alexander Mackenzie was entered at Douai on the same day as his brother. He also went to Nancy, but left before becom­ ing a priest.1s The unsatisfactory state of this pedigree makes it extremely difficult to prove the total extinction of all male descendants of George Mac­ kenzie of Kildun. If, however, there were none, the succession would open to ·male descendants of his ilnmediate younger brother, Colin Mac­ kenzie, Governor of Ellandonan.

V. COLIN MACKENZIE, GOVERNOR OF ELLANDONAN

i

Colin Mackenzie, named as third son of George, Earl of Seaforth, in 1662, 1 is stated to have been at King's College, Aberdeen, in 1658.2 In 1680 he appears as possessing lands in Kintan,a where be probably lived, as he was Governor of the Castle of Ellandonan during the Revolution.4 This was of course on behalf of James VII., and, in 1690, he is named among the Highlanders who had been in rebellion. 5 In 1696 he is men­ tioned as brother-german to the late Earl of Seaforth.a On 14 June 1720 he was served heir male and of conquest to his brother, Roderick Mac­ kenzie of Kinchulladrum, in the estate of Kinclhulladrum,7 and on 16 December 1721 there was a sasine thereof in his favour.a These proceed­ ings were for the purpose of making up titles, because Kinchulladrum was passing by purchase to Mackenzie of Applecross, and then to Mac­ kenzie of Highfield.9 Colin Mackenzie died at Fortrose about 1722.10 He married (1), 5 November 1663, at Holyroodhouse, Jean, daughter of the Very Reverend Robert Laurie, Dean of Edinburgh. She was buried, 5 January 1671, at the Greyfriars. He married (2) Helen Sinclair, widow of Stirling of Herbertshire.1oa. She died 3 July 1710, as appears by an inventory of goods,!. which belonged to_ her and to her then husband, Colin Mackenzie, uncle to the Earl of Seaforth. She is described as "Dame Helen Sinclair, Lady Herbert­ shire. " 11

It seems sufficiently clear that there were, in 1725, no male descendants of Colin Mackenzie, third son of George, second Earl of Seaforth, so that the succession, failing heirs of George Mackenzie of Kildun, would open to the descendants, if any, of Roderick Mackenzie of Kinchulladrum.

MACKENZIE OF KINCHULLADRUM

1

Roderick Mackenzie of Kinchulladrun1,1 in the parish of Urray and Kilchrist, is named, in 1664, as fourth lawful son in life of the late George, Earl of Seaforth, Wihen he disponed to his brother, George, [his interest in the estate of Kincurdie.2 As brother-german to the Earl of Seaforth there was a sasine in favour of himself and of his first wife, 13 May 1670, of the lands of Kinchulladru1n and others. 3 The estate of Kinchulladrum, a name wlhich has now disappeared from the map, seems to have included a good deal of. land which was subsequently incorporated into the estate of Highfield: it embraced Tenafield, Auchmore and Milton of Ord. 4 Roderick Mackenzie was made a burgess of Aberdeen, 2 March 1674, as of "Kinquhilldrum."5 In 1679, as of "Killchulladrum," he was infeft in certain property at Fortrose, including a piece of land in the cemetery of the Cathedral Church, on the south side, being 72 ells in length from west to east and 50 ells broad from south to north. 6 He died in March 1706, as appears by his testament-dative.7

He married (i) Anna Ogilvy, mentioned with him in the sasine of 1670. She is stated to have heen a daughter of the laird of Kempcairn, pre­ sumably Alexander, second son of Walter, first Lord Ogilvy of Deskford.8

He married (2) Katherine, eldest daughter of Patrick Scougall, Bishop of Aberdeen, and widow of William Scrogie, Bishop of Argyle, and of

MACKENZIE OF KINCHULLADRUM 41 Patrick Forbes, Bishop of Caithness. Her 111arriage contract with Roderick Mackenzie was dated at Aberdeen, in 1680, she having a jointure of £3000 Scots fro1n her first husband.9 In 1700, as widow of Patrick, Bishop of Gaithness, and wife of Roderick, she granted a discharge, in respect of a bond in her favour for 7000 merks ,from Jands in tJhe parish of Wick.IO She was served heir, 20 March 1705, to her brother, Sir James Scougall of Whitehill, a lord of Session.11 No documentary pfoof has been found for any children of either n1arriage. Mackenzie12 states that all the children of the second marriage died young, but that tlhere were two sons and two daughters of the first marriage. The daug,hters are not named, but the sons are said to have been Alexander, who n1arried, in 1707, Anne, daughter of Alexander Mackenzie. of Applecross, by whom he had a daughter, Anne, living in 1766. Mackenzie describes Alexander as second of Kinchulladrum, but, if so, he never made up titles, because Colin Mackenzie was served heir to his brother, Roderick, in that estate, and not to a nephew. The other son of Roderick (by his first marriage) is stated to have been Kenneth, who died young. As Colin Mackenzie is described in the re tour as heir male and of conquest to his brother, Roderick Mackenzie of Kinchulla­ drum, it may safely be presumed that Roderick's male issue, if any, were all extinct in 1121.1a It would see-m, therefore, · that all the male de­ cendants of George, second Earl of Seaforth, are extinct, with the possible exception of descendants of his second son, George Mackenzie of Kildun.14 If none survive, then the succession to the attainted titles of Earl of Seaforth and Mackenzie of Kintail, both being to heirs-male, would devolve upon the descendants of the younger brothers of the said George, second Earl of Seaforth. Of these the House of Pluscardine would be the first.

MACKENZIE OF PLUSCARDINE

i

Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine1 was tJhe sixth son of Kenneth, first Lord Mackenzie of Kintail, and immediate younger brother of George, second Earl of Seaforth.2 In 1636 he had a grant of the barony of Plus­ cardine, to himself and his first wife, s which barony and other lands were, 1n 1649, the subject of an apprising for 48,035 merks, and so passed for a time to Sir John Mackenzie of Tarbat.4 The property, however, still continued to give a territorial title to the fa1nily. The first Pluscardine figures often and loyally in the Highland history of his times and, as tutor to the young Earl, his nephew, he may be supposed largely to have directed his policy.5 · His Rising in 1659 was shortlived, but of some im­ portance.6 He represented the shire of Elgin in Parliament in 1645, and from 1661 till 1663. He died 27 November and was buried 7 December 1676.7

He married (1) Jean Grant,8 stated to have been a daughter of John Grant of Freuchie and widow of Sir William Sutherland of Duffus.9

He married (2), contract 1 January 1644, Jean, daughter of Sir William Cockburn of Langton, Bart., and widow of Alexander Dunbar of West Grange.1° She died 9 and was buried 13 December 1678, at the

She was at that time, 1t would appear, very obstina:tely retaining the Pluscardine charter chest in her own custody.12 On 20 February i679 Charles Mackenzie of Kirkton (her son, afterwards of Earnside) rendered his account as her executor. There was a sum of 480 merks for the farm of Alves Kirkton, possessed by the deceased, and due to William Robertson of Inshes, and a sum of £142 5s 6d due to Kenneth ·Mackenzie, apothecary in Elgin, fo;r drugs and for the funera1.1a

He had issue by his first wife, Jean Grant, two sons and a daughter:- 1. Colin Mackenzie of Pluscardine, of whom hereafter. 2. George Mackenzie witnessed a baptism, in 1659, at Alves, as lawful son of the Laird of Piuscardine. On 20 March 1661, at Edinburgh, he was apprenticed as second son to the late (sic) Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine, to Thomas Barclay "of Peaston. "14 This would appear to be intended for Robert Barclay, merchant and b.ailie of Edinburgh, "\Vho was created a baronet, 22 October 1668. George Mackenzie died 21 and was buried 23 August 1672, at· Elgin.15 There is no sugges­ tion that he married. 1.

He 1had issue by his second wife, Jean Cockburn, four sons and a daughter:- 3. Alexander Mackenzie is named as the eldest lawful son of Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine and Jean Cockburn, his present spouse, in 1652.18 He died probably before, 1660, when Patrick Cumming of Earnside disponed the lands of Earnside, to Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine and Jean Cock-

Kenneth Mackenzie is also named, as ,second 1lawful. son of Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine and Jean Cockburn, his present spouse, in 1652, and died either before 1660, or 1674, as in the case of ihis brother, Alexander. 5. Thomas Mackenzie is also named, as third lawful son of Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine and Jean Cockburn, his present spouse, in 1652, and upon him was settled the estate of Earnside, by disposition from Patrick Cumming of Earnside, 4 December f 660. 21 He was an officer in Douglas' Regiment · (Royal Scots) and appears to have died in London in the autumn of 1678.22 Certainly Charles Mackenzie was of Earnside in 1679, as appears by the Alves parish registers. It may there­ fore be taken that Thomas Mackenzie of E·arnside left no male issue. 6. Charles Mackenzie of EARNSIDE. See that pedigree. 2.

Colin Mackenzie of Pluscadine witnessed a baptism at Alves, 17 November 1655, as eldest son to the laird of Pluscardine. He was served heir to his father in the lands of Pluscardine, Barnhill, Insh­ ellan, Corslyes and Ba'llaloan, in the county of Elgin, 6 May 1687, and in Auchmadies, and other lands in the county of Banff, 13 May 1687.23 During the lifetime of his father, an arrangement had been made by a deed, dated at Forres, 24 September 1673, whereby Kenneth, Earl of Seaforth, was to discharge Thomas Mackenzie of Pluscardine, of all intromissions in respect of the said Earl's and the Earl's father's estate, and the said Earl was to secure Colin, Pluscardine's son, in 600 merks yearly from land, which Colin accepted, together with 8000 merks, Which was to be paid by his father, in full satisfaction of anything which he

could claim; and Colin was also to be relieved of all his father's engage­ ments. Pluscardine by the deed discharged the Earl of all claims, with certain exceptions, to he afterwards met by the Earl.24 Any hold over Pluscardine must now have been negligible and, in 1687, Colin, as son and heir of Thomas Maclkenzie of Pluscardine, disposed of any claim which he might have in that property.25

He is stated to have married (1) Margaret Heatley, "d_aughter to the laird of Bairfoot.' '26

What became of these six sons of Charles Mackenzie of Earnside might be a difficult matter to ascertain; their very existence does not see-m hitherto to have been known or discussed. They were, however, of the House of Pluscardine, and, until they can be proved to have left no male descendants, any claim to the attainted titles must be abortive, without considering possible male descendants of George ,Mackenzlie of Kildun and of Colin Mackenzie, goldsmith in Edinburgh, the actual repre­ sentative of the House of Pluscardine. Assuming, however, that there are none, the succession would devolve upon the ·male descendants of Simon Mackenzie of Lochslin, ancestor of Allangrange.

He married (2), in or before i 727, Katharine, fourth daughter of Charles Mackenzie of Cullen. As such there was a sasine in her favour of the lands of Lettoch, upon her marriage contract. 7o In 1736, as spouse to Rory Mackenzie of Red castle, elder, she was infeft in Gargis ton and other lands to secure her jointure of 8 chalders victual.71

He had issue by his first wife, Margaret Calder, two sons·:-72 1. Rory (or Roderick) Mackenzie, of whom hereafter. 2. Colin Mackenzie, Redcastle's brother, was recommended for a lieutenancy in Seaforth's .second Independent Company, in September 1745,73 but he did not serve therein.

He married Hannah, daughter of Thomas Murdoch of ·Cumloden, in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright. As spouse of Redcastle, younger, there was a sasine in her favour, in 1743, of a life annuity of £800 Scots from Lettoch and other lands.so

Kenneth Mackenzie of Redcastle was born 21 and baptised 29 February 1748 at Killearnan, in presence of ;\,Vill,iam, Alexander, and Kenneth Mackenzie, all brothers to Kilcoy. He was a captain in one of the Hi,~hland Independent Companies, for the raising of which he still further burdened an already impoverished estate, as appears by the law proceedings in 1789. lVIaclean, in his Sketches of Highland Families, says that he was cursed by a witch for kidnapping her child for the service. As the result of a duel, he _fled the country and was himself killed at Constantinople in another duel, in March or April 1789.87

xv. MACKENZIE OF KINCRAIG (II.)

i John Mackenzie of Kincraig, second son of Rory, or Roderick, Mackenzie of Redcastle, by his wife, Hannah Murdodh, was baptised at Killearnan, 25 February 1751. Under the disposition made by his kinsman, John Mackenzie of Kincraig, that estate passed to him, in 1760, his father holding it in trust.1 In 1785 John Mackenzie, as second son of the late Roderick Mackenzie of RedcasHe, and now Lieutenant in the 73rd Regiment, was himself infeft, on a disposition from his father, dated 22 January 1778.2 He died in 1822. He married Mary, daughter of the Reverend Oolin Mackenzie of Glack,s co. Aberdeen, minister of Fodderty. They had issue seven sons and six daughters.4 Of these the eldest son was:- 2 Roderick Mackenzie of Kincraig, Major (1832) in the 15th Regiment Native Infantry (Bengal), H.E.I.C.S. He died at Kincraig in 1853. He married Katharine, daughter of Hector Mackenzie, Bailie of Dingwall, son of Alexander Mackenzie of Tolly, Provost of Ding\vall, who was son of Charles Mackenzie of Letterewe.5 They [had issue a son and four daughters. Of these the son, Captain Roderick Mackenzie of Kincraig, married Georgina Adelaide, daug,hter of Roderick Mackenzie of Flowerburn, and died without issue. The eldest surviving daughter, Eliza Jane, was married to George Martineau, C.B.~ of Gomshall, and upon their son, the present Sir William Martineau, the estate of Kincraig has devolved.

XVI.

MACKENZIE OF ORD

1

John Mackenzie, younger son of John Mackenzie of Kin tail (John of Killin), appears to have had as his inheritance the lands of Kinloch­ luichart ana Little Scatwell.1 He is a very shadowy figure, whose existence has only come to light in recent years.2 That he and Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail (elder son of John of Killin) ,vere brothers-german is proved by a contemporary copy of part of a lawsuit3-"Copy of Alex­ ander Mackenzie of Davochmaluag his advocation given in before the Sheriff of Inverness against John Mackenzie of Ord i638." Davoch­ maluag,s contention was that he would lose his case (concerning thirlage to the mill of Ord), because the Sherif-f would be biased in favour of his opponent4-"Sir John Mackenzie of Tarbat knight baronet sheriff­ principal of our sheriffdom of Inverness before whom the said action is pursued and the said John Mackenzie pursuer stand full thirdis and f erdis of kyn the .said Sir John his grandsire and the said pursuer his guidsire being full brethren of the house of Kintail as is notourly known. "5 It is very certain that Sir John's "grandsiren (great-grandfather), was Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail-he had no other Mackenzie great-grandfather-and it is equally certain that Davochmaluag was not referring to John of Ord's maternal Mac­ kenzie ''guidsire" (grandfather), because his mother's father was a legitimated first cousin of the said Kenneth of Kin tail. Therefore John of Ord's paternal grandfather, John Mackenzie, seems certainly to have been brotJher-german to Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, and so younger son of John of Killin. The date of his death is unknown but was probably between 1580 and 1590.

1 Kinlochluichart and Corriemoillie are both in the Crown charter of 25 Feb. 1508-9 (G.S.R.), to John Mackenzie of Kintail, and formed part of the barony of Ellandonan. 2 This is due to the researches of the late Rev. A. Macdonald, minister of Killearnan, who found the name in a document in the family charter chest. 3 Quoted in Seaforth v. Allangrange case ( 1920). 4 This was often pleaded in the XVII. century. See, e.g., More Culloden Papers, I., 197. 5 Davochmaluag himself was of the house of Kintail, but more distantly related. 86 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES His wife's name has not been recovered.

He had issue two sons:- 1. Thomas Mackenzie of KinloCJhluichart, of whom hereafter. 2. John Mackenzie, brother of Thomas Mackenzie of [blank] is mentioned, in i592, in connection with the lands of Wester Kessock.6

2 Thomas Mackenzie of Kinlochluichart succeeded his father in or before 1590. 7 It is evident from the testament of his first wife that, even prior to 1580, he was living in the Ord of Kinchulladrum, in the parish of Urray, and that the mill and mill lands of Kinchulladrums were rented from Colin Mackenzie of Kintail. In 1594 he is described as of Ord, and in 1595 as, of KinlochluicJhart, when he obtained, on behalf of Rory 1\1:ackenzie (later Sir Rory Mackenzie of Coigeach), from Robert Graham, Archdeacon of Ross, receipts for the teind sheaves of Dochpollo and Dochcairn.9 As of Kinlochluichart he was one of the assize, in i594, for serving Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail heir to his father.1° In 1598, as Thomas Mackenzie of Kinlochluichart (lhaving paid 2000 mer ks Scots for the grassums), he obtained from Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail a letter of tack, dated at Kinellan 2 June (wherein he is described as special kinsman), of the town and lands of Ord, with the mill, mill lands, crofts and alehouse. The tack was to be to him and to his second wife in conjunct liferent and then to the nearest heir male of Thomas, begotten betwixt the·m, in liferen.t, and then for 19 years.1 1 He was dead in or before i607, when his son, John Mackenzie, was married.

He married ('i) Christian, daughter of Rory MacAllan, said to have been a Macleod. In her testament12 she is described as "Christian Rorie Allansondochter, sometime spouse to Thomas Mackenzie in the Ord of Killychulldrum" and her mother, who was then alive, as "Agnes Allan Duncanson's dochter." She died 12 April 1580, having made a will, 28 March 1580, wherein she desired burial in the Kirk of Beauly. Her bairns are mentioned, but unfortunately not na:med.

6 Inventory of Redcastle Writs. The blank is probably due to the inability of the scribe to read the word "Kinlochluichart," very variously spelt, even as "Chandlochlychar." 7 The late Rev. A. Macdonald ·states (in a pamphlet on the Ord family) that in that year he received a discharge from Kintail as superior of Kinlochluichart. 8 The Mill of Kinchulladrum and the Mill of Ord were the same (P.R.S. Inv., 22 March 1639). 9 Seaforth v. Allangrange case. 1o S.C.B. Inv.i 11 Seaforth v. Allangrange case. 12 Com! Ed., Test., 28 NQy. 1588, MACKENZIE OF ORD 87

He married (2) Mirabell Mackenzie, mentioned with him in the letter of tack, in 1598. S!he was a daughter of Murdoch Mackenzie of Fairburn, by his first wife, Mirabell Urquhart. She was married secondly, as !his first wife, to Alexander Mackenzie of Goul.13.

He had issue by his first wife, Christian, two sons:-14

1. Murdoch Mackenzie of Kinlochluichart is mentioned in 1611, as son to the late Thomas Mackenzie of Kinlochluichart,15 and, in 1619, he appears as son to the late Thomas Mackenzie of Ord,16 whiclh illustrates the confusion caused by Thomas owning Kinlochluidhart and living at Ord. In 1618 Murdoch was infeft, as of Kinlochluichart, in the lands of Ardmore, apprised from David Ross of Balnagown for the sum of £3000 Scots.17 On 19 January 1619,18 by a deed, dated at Castle Leod (Cultileoid), he, as of Kinlochluichart, wadset, for certain sums paid him by Sir Rory Mackenzie of Coigeach, on behalf of Kenneth Mackenzie, his second son, the said Murdoch's "foster, " 19 the lands of Kinlochlui0hart, as the same were possessed by the said Murdoch's father, Thomas Mackenzie of KJnlochluichart. The bounds are given-the lands of ~he late Murdoch Mackenzie of F,airburn on the west, south and south-west parts, and the lands of Corriemoillie at the north and north-east parts. Murdoch also wadset the half davoch lands of Little Scatwell; the whole to be ·held of Colin, Lord of Kintail, vvith reservation of Murdoch's liferent. From the above it seems clear that Murdoch had no children of his own.

He married Katharine Mackenzie, who was liferented in half the lands of Little Scatwe11.20

If Murdoch Mackenzie had not granted Kinlochluichart to his foster-son, this Thomas would presumably have succeeded his brother in that estate. In this deed, eighteen years after the death of Thomas, he appears to be by courtesy described as of Kinlochluichart. 14 His will is quoted by Mackenzie, 527. 215 Sec. R. Inv., fol. 154 (1607).

He married, contra.ct at Chanonry ot Ross, 23 July, and at Inverness, 30 July 1607,80 Isobel, daughter of Alexander Cuthbert, burgess of Inver­ ness.s1 As his future spouse there was a sasine in her favour, in 1607, of the liferent of Ord, Corriemoillie and Strathvaich, on a charter by Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, dated 23 July 1607-.32 · She was named in her husband's will as sole executrix.

John Mackenzie of Ord, named as eldest lawful son of John Mac­ kenzie of Ord, in 1639,42 succeeded his father in December 1642, so that much of his life, as owner of Ord, was spent in the years of the troubles. He fougiht against the Covenanters and was in consequence, 8 July 1647, with several other Mackenzies, dealt with by the General Assembly. He acknowledged having signed Seaforth's remonstrance on behalf of the King, which he thereupon renounced-under the circumstances he could have done nothing else-and he and the rest were referred back to their respective Presbyteries.43 The Presbytery of Dingwall was greatly shocked, and, in 1650, sent him back again to Edinburgh, to face the General Assembly, 44 which (on 21 June) decided tha.t [he should be ref erred to the next General Assembly, and that the Presbytery of Ding­ wall should suspend in the meantime the process of excommunication.45 As the best way to get the matter settled, Ord now applied to make public repentance, which was graciously allowed him, in November 1650.46 He appears in "The Treaty with the Earl of Seaforth,'' January 1654/5, when he and Alexander Chisholm of Corner, Kenneth Mackenzie of Caul, and Mr Alexander Mackenzie were specially named as possibly having assisted in the damage caused on the estate of Munro of Foulis.47 The account given by Mackenzie of this raid on Foulis leaves the im­ pression that Ord was indeed a guilty party.48 This was not so.

Reference is made to the sentence pronounced by a Court Martial at Edinburgh in 1655, which the arbitrators decided should be null and void, because Ord had declared upon oath that he was not a party to the damage upon Foulis. Moreover Sir Robert was ordered to pay Ord 500 merks ''by way of gratuity.' '49 John Mackenzie of Ord, "a stout old cavalier,"50 died before 1687, when lhis second wife was a widow.

1

Alexander Mackenzie is invariably stated to have been the second son of Kenneth Mackenzie of Kin tail and Agnes Fraser, and next younger brother of John Mackenzie of Kintail (John of Killin). It seems quite safe to identify him with that "Alexander Cannochson1 Mackenzie," who was allowed, with thirty of his household, to come to the King and to return to the Isles in safety, there being a process· of treason against him,2 a process which need not necessarily have involved actual rebellion. This was in the year 1531, when John Mackenzie of Kintail was himself fighting against the rebels of the Isles,3 and presumably being assisted by 'his brother.

He is stated to have ·married Margaret, daughter of _William Munro of Foulis.

He had issue two sons:-4 i. Rory Mackenzie in Davochmaluag, of whom hereafter.

On the death of Alexander Mackenzie of Davoclhmaluag, in 1776, the estates passed to his second daughter: Beatrix, wife of J_ohn Mackenzie of Brae, in _the Black Isle, and she disponed them to her eldest son, Alexander Mackenzie of Brae and of Davochmaluag. The ancient seat of Davoch­ maluag, near Dingwall, where the ruined tower still stands, was there­ after named Brae, and the old name of Davochmaluag has vanished.

Next in succession to the house of Davochmaluag would be the descendants of Rory (Mor) Mackenzie, who is said to have been the third son of Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail and Agnes Fraser. As, however, all his sons were (beyond question) illegitilnate, they are dealt with later. See Achilty, Ardross, Fairburn, and Tolly. After Rory the next son of Kenneth and Agnes is said to have been Mr Kenneth Mackenzie. Though not the ancestor of Ord, as was at one time supposed, .he may have been ancestor of Kilchrist and Suddie, with its branch of Inverlael.

XVIII.

MACKENZIE OF KILCHRIST AND SUDDIE

1

Kenneth Mackenzie is stated to have been the fourth and youngest son of Kenneth Mackenzie· of Kin tail by Ibis wife, Agnes Fraser. Except for one entry, which m.ay or may not refer to him, there is no record evidence for his existence at all. Accounts of him differ. One1 relates that ''.he never married· but kept a concubine nicknamed Lyval, by whom he had four sons, Mr Alexander, Thomas, Rorie and John Caoile (the Slender)." Alexander is then given as ancestor of Kilchrist and Suddie, and Thomas as ancestor of Ord. · This Tfhomas, however, as is now known, was not the ancestor of Ord. Another account2 states that Kenneth was ''predecessour of the f amilie of Sud die of whom Ord and Inverlael.'' Though Inverlael did, Ord did not come off the house of Kilchrist and Suddie. The Scots Peerage3 is content to follow the genea­ logists and definitely states that Kenneth was priest of Avoch, vicar of Convinth and ancestor of tihe house of Suddie. The only reference given for the priestly part of it is Antiquarian Notes, 100, meaning Fraser­ Mackintosh's valuable work.4 One would have expected, under the circumstances, to have found something very definite, but the reference is only to the inventory of writs belonging to Lord Lovat in 1651. Number 22 is a pres,entation by James, Bishop of Moray, to Mr Kenneth Mackenzie, of the vicarage of Convinth, dated 27 June 1518. Tlhis is apparently the single piece of record evidence forthcoming, and there is nothing to prove identity. The clan historian is very detailed in his description of Kenneth's doings, 5 but he has somewhat overstepped the 1nark, when he states that Kenneth acquired Suddie by a crown charter of 1526. The grant in 1526 was to William B.ard.6 One hesitates to suggest that K.enneth's supposed marriage contract with a daughter of

Lovell of Ballumbie is somewhat fanciful (though Loval is strangely re·miniscent of the concubine ''Lyval"), but .a very exact reference to the deed would have been welcome. There does not appear to. have been a Robert Lovell of Ballumbie in 1539, 7 and, had there been, it is difficult to suppose that he wQuld have consented to the marriage of his daughter with a priest, who1n a terrified Bishop was afraid to unfrock.a Sup­ posing, however, that Mt· Kenneth -did exist, and supposing that ihe had not been a priest, the Lovell of the day might have thought differently. It is significant that in the inventory of Lovat writs, out of four presen­ tations to Convinth, rr1ade before the Reformation, that to Kenneth Mackenzie is the only one where ''Sir,'' the sure sign of ordination, is \Vanting. "Mr." may denote that he was a graduate of some University or a lay reader or, as so-me think, a man to be suitably distinguished; in fact he may not have been in !holy orders at all. Under the circumstances, it is only possible to follow the genealogists, so far as may be, and to say that there may have been a Kenneth, son of Kintail, who had four sons:-la 1. Mr Alexander Mackenzie, of whom hereafter. 2: Thomas Mackenzie, reputed ancestor of Ord, which he was. not. 3. John "Caoile, "2a said to !have had a son Murdoch, father of Thomas, father of "James Mackenzie the carpenter."3a 4. Rory Mackenzie, who may perhaps be identified with that Rory Mackenzie of Kilchrist who has hitherto been unknown to genealogists. Circumstantial evidence places1 him in this g·eneration. He appears ·on an assize, 6 April 1588,4a and, on 15 September 1'589, he was infeft in the lands of Drumderfit and W'ester Kessock, parish of Killearnan, on a charter by Sir William Keith of Delny, to him and to ihis1 heirs male. 5a He appears to have died in or before 1592, when Kenneth Mackenzie · of Kilchrist (presumed to be his nephew and heir ·male) dealt with the lands of Wester Kessock.6a

7 Sir Henry Lovell was of Ballumbie in 1510, and his wife was Margaret Moncrei:ff; both were livjng jn 1529, and, h1 1551, there was a Crown charter of Ballumbie to John Lovell, as son of Henry Lovell, and grandson of Andrew Lovell of Ballumbie. (See G.S.R., 10 Dec. 1511, 11 May 1529, and 30 May 1551). 8 The wicked Kenneth would appear to have been dealing with two Bishops-the Bishop of Moray and the Bishop of Ross. la No legitimation seems to be on record for any of these sons, so that, if Kenneth was really their father, his marriage was in order, presumably, and they were not bastards. Sa In one place he is the third son, and in another the fourth (Macfarlane, I., 91). 3a Idem. Perhaps John "Caoile" was not married. 4a S.C.B. Inv. &a Inventory of Redcastle writs. This must have been subject to the Hfe interest of Janet Gray, as appears later. ea Idem. The Rory, son of Mr Kenneth Mackenzie of the pedigrees, is given two eons, "Alister Dow MacRorie" and "John MacRorie," but these may have been natural children, 108 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES

2 Mr Alexander Mackenzie, as he is invariably styled, supposed son o.f Mr Kenneth Mackenzie, certainly had s01ne connection with the Priory of Beauly. In a rental of that religious house appears the .following:­ "Item Master Alexander Mackenzie for hi.s yearly pension which he has of the said Prior and provided thereof in room £13 6s 8d.' '7a The date of this rental is g1ven as between 1561 .and 1566, during which time Mr Alexander was occupying the mill lands of Avoch.8a If. there were not two Mr Alexander Mackenzies at this period, one must suppose that he was reader at KiUearnan and at Kilchrist.9 He was not, however, ordained, if one may draw the inference from his witnessing, 25 April 1572, as "Mr" Alexander Mackenzie, while another witness was "Sir" John Gibson, Rector of Unthank.10 On 26 October 1567 John, Bishop of Ross, by his charter, confirmed 21 January 1571/2,11 granted to Mr Alexander Mac­ kenzie in feu farm, for his life, with remainder to Kenneth Mackenzie, his eldest son, and the heirs male of his body, whom failing to John Mackenzie, his second ;son, and the heirs male of his body, whO'm failing the heirs whomsoever of the ,said Mr Alexander, bearing the name and arms of Mackenzie, the mill lands of Avoch, as the same were occupied by him. There is here no suggestion of bastardy. On 2i July 1571 there wa.s a p'recept, from the Privy Seal in favour of Mr Alexander Mac­ kenzie, for. the purchase from Patrick Dingwall of the brewhouse, alehouse and ·mill of Meikle Suddie, in the lordship of Ardmeanach,12 and he ,vas certainly in possession of the mill and multures of Meikle Suddie, in 1572.13 He died in or before 1583, if he may be identified with the Mr Alexander Mackenzie, whose decease caused a vacancy in the chap­ lainry of Alness (Fyrish).14 He is stated to have married Agnes, daughter of Rory MacAllan Mac­ kenzie, his father being ancestor of the family of Hilton. He had issue three sons:- 1. Kenneth Mackenzie of Kilchrist, of whom hereafter. 2. John Mackenzie of INVERLAEL. See that pedigree. 3. Murdoch Mackenzie witnessed a sasine, in 1607, as brother of Kenneth Mackenzie of Kilchrist.15

2

K"enneth Mackenzie of Kilchrist and Suddie, eldest son of Mr Alex­ ander Mackenzie, and so n'amed in the charter of i567, succeeded Rory Mackenzie of Kilchrist in that property between i589 and 1592, 16 as well as in Drumderfit and Wester Kessock, in which Kenneth's first wife lhad a life interest. Rory is presumed to ha.ve been his .uncle. He is 1nentioned, in 1602, as speciaM kinsman of Kenneth l\t.Iackenzie of Kin tail, 17 from whom, 7 November 1607, he had a charter of the lands of [Meikle] Suddie and mill thereof, and was infeft therein two days later.18 In the same year, 15 October, !he had a charter from the Bishop of Ross of the mill lands of Avoch, with remainder to Mr John Mackenzie, his brother­ german, and was infeft therein 28 December.19 He was living in 1611.20

I-le married (1), in or before 1592, Janet Gray. She was widow of James Gray of Drumderfit and w·ester Kessock, to whom these lands had been granted by Queen Mary in 1564. 21 As his future spouse she was given a life-rent therein by the said James Gray, 31 October 1567.22 In 1592 she and her second husband dealt with these lands, and, on 23 January 1595, they had a charter from the Magistrates of Inverness, as superior.s, for the lands and mill of Wester Kessock.23 On 12 March 1598 ,'9 she and Kenneth l\rlackenzie of Kilchrist, as her spouse, were put to the horn at the instance of the com1nissary of Edinburgh, in connection with the estate of her late husband, J a-mes. Gray of Drumaerfit.24

He married (2), contract in 1605,25 Katharine, daughter of Rory Mac­ kenzie of Redcastle. She was infeft, 9 March 1607, as his spouse, in the liferent of the lands .of Wester Kessock, on a charter by her husband, dated in 1605, to which K,enneth J\1ackenzie of Kintail was a witness.26

He had issue by his first wife, Janet Gray, one daughter:- Agnes, wife of (1) James Dunbar of Little Suddie, to whom she was ma1~ried in or before 1602. There was a sasine in her favour, as his spouse, of the lands of Little Suddie, on a

Kenneth i\1ackenzie of Suddie, as he is generally called, was apparently only younger of Suddie, and predeceased his father. There was a sasine in his favour as of Suddie, 19 February 1672,37 but his father was still alive. He was in command of one of the Independent Companies and seems to have harassed the Covenanters.38 In 1688 he was present at the Clan Battle of Mulroy, 4 August (when the Macdonalds defeated the Mackintoshes), receiving wounds, of which he died.as

He sat in Parliament as Member for the Wick Burghs, fron1 1806 till 1807, and for Sutherland­ shire in 1808, but in that year he returned to the service and went to the Peninsular. He "gloriously· fell in the battle of Talavera (28 July 1809) . . • The 78th adored him and will long lament him.' •49 The future Duke of Wellington, in his despatch of 29 July 1809, wrote:-"I have particularly to lament the loss of Maj.-Gen.

On his death the estate of Suddie passed to lhis sister, Mrs, Pott, and subsequently, on her second ·marriage, formed part of the Scatwell estates.

The Reverend John Mackenzie, Archdeacon in the diocese of Ros-s, was the second son of Mr Alexander Mackenzie and brother of Kenneth Mackenzie of Kilchrist ..

xx. MACKENZIE OF HILTON

1 Duncan Mackenzie is stated to lhave been the elder of the two younger sons of Alexander Mackenzie, and brother-german to Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail, Kenneth-a-bhlair. It may be that he died comparatively young, thus giving his brother of tlhe half blood, 1-Iector 1\tlackenzie, ancestor of Gairloch, the chance to become tutor to 'the young l{intail. At all events, while Hector appears frequently in records, no evidence for Duncan seems to be forthcoming, beyond what tradition (not always reliable) has handed down.

He is stated to have married a daughter of Ewen C_ameron (Lochiel), but the na-me Allan in the next generation seems rather to suggest Allan Cameron. By her he is presu1ned to have been father of·:-

1 It is not evidence, but worth noting, that there was an "Agnes Allan Duncanson's daughter" living in 1580.

The name of Hilton, however, survived, as the territorial distinction, but whether because it was found on the new estate seems matter for conjecture. Actually the new Hilton stood where St.rathbran Lodge stands to-day. The lands which Alex­ ander Mackenzie acquired in the parish of Contin were by a disposition from Colin Mackenzie of Redcastle-t!he easter half of the lands of Caiseachan with the sheiling called "Feoreich" and "Corriefearvich" in Cabuie, the oxgate land of "Garvad" and the east oxgate half lands of Garbat in Strathbran, in which he and Ewen, his only son, were infeft, 6 June 1681.24 He died in or before 1698.

Their pedigree is well authenticated and 1t is not proposed here to deal with that house or its branches. They, however, would seem to bring the legitimate descendants of. the House of Seaforth to a conclusion.

Alexander Mackenzie, '' Alaisdair Roy MacRory,'' received letters of legitimation, 16 March 1541/2, as Alexander Mackenzie, senior, one of the natural sons of the late Rory ;Mackenzie.a He is stated to have died at Lochbroom, in 1568.

He married, according to the pedigrees, a daughter of Chisholm of Strathglass. He had is.sue three sons:-

1. Murdoch Mackenzie, "Murdoch MacAlaisdair Roy" of Achilty, of whom hereafter. 2. Rory, who 1i ved. in Sligo, in the Bishopric of Ross and lordship of Ard'meanach. There was a crown grant, 2 August 1591, "Rodrico M'Allestare Roy M'Kanzie," in feu farm, of the town and lands of Sligo occupied by him.9 The lands were then in the hands of the Crown, there being no Bishop of Ross; but, after the restoration of that See, the Bishop seems to have had some trouble with his tenant, and, in 1619, "Rorie · Mackenzie McAllester Roy,'' portioner of Sligo, was put to tlhe horn at the Bishop's instance.lo It was not the first occasion on which he had experienced such treatment. Three years previously he and Mr John Mackenzie, parson of Dingwall, had been put to the horn, at the instance of George Graham of Drynie and others, for an attempted slaug!hter of the said George on 26 August 16i4.11 The parson of Dingwall, first of the House

XXIII. MACKENZIE OF ARDROSS

1 Murdoch Mackenzie, "Mr Murdoch MacVorchie vie Alister," is stated to have been the second son of Murdoch Mackenzie of Achilty, and he is generally described in pedigrees as Mr Murdoch Mackenzie of Pitglassie (parish of Dingwall).a In the valuation roll of Ross, in 1644, Mr Murdoch Mackenzie of Kildun is entered fo1· £33 6s 8d in the parish of Fodderty, and £208 i3s 4d in t~e parish of Contin.1 Without doubt he was the Reverend Murdoch Mackenzie, minister of Dingwall, who succeeded the Reverend John Mackenzie of Tolly in that charge, and was deposed, about 1639, for not agreeing with the Acts of the General Assembly. The records of the Presbytery of Dingwa112 contain many references to !him, references which are usually opprobrious. It seems that his successor in office, the Reverend John Macrae, suffered much at the hands of his pre­ decessor's servant, who would not permit him to enjoy his glebe, and, when brought before the Presbytery, he alleged that the ploughs were the property of Mr Murdoch and his son and that the oats came out of Mr Murdoch's barns in Pitglassie. Under pain of excommunication he at length made public repentance and, in December 1651, he desired to come to an arrangement with the Reverend John Macrae. In i655, his son, William Mackenzie (afterwards Minister of Rosskeen), petitioned for part of the allowance from the vacant stipend of Fodderty, to which the Presbytery replied, that "Mr Murdo Mackenzie, sometime minister at Dingwall, who is father to the said William, is powerful to sustain at college, without any support of any other' '-which was probably true. His eldest son, Alexander, afterwards of Ardross, confessed to having been with Montros~. and · he was the messenger between his father and the Presbytery, while fhis father was being threatened with excommunication. Mr Murdoch is stated to have died at Ussie in 1656 and to have been buried at Dingwall.

a Alexander Mackenzie of Ardross is described, in 1673, as "of Ardroas formerly of Pitglaasie" (Ardross Writs). 1 Fraser-Mackintosh, Ant. Notes, 2nd ed., 361, 358. 2 S.H.S.

Margaret Mackenzie was married to Captain James Munro, R.N., of Teaninich, in the parish of Alness. The marriage contract was dated at Ardross, 3 MarcJh i 768. Minute provision :was ·made in the case of the two properties being united; if the estate of Teaninich were to devolve upon the person succeeding to Ardros.s, then the name of Munro was to be added to that of Mackenzie, it being provided that whoever succeeded to Ardross should take the name of Mackenzie, and the person first named as the successor to Ardros.s was to be the second son of this marriage. a4 As Margaret and her husband had 1nore than one son, the two estates remained separated. She, who was liferented in the lands of Teaninich,35 died 3 February i 778, in the 31st year of her age.36 Her eldest son was Hugh Munro · of Teaninich, Captain, 78th Highlanders, who sold that property to his youngest brother, Major-General John Munro of Teaninich.

XXIV. MACKENZIE OF FAIRBURN

i Murdoch Mackenzie, though stated to have been the youngeRt of the natural children of Rory Mor (third son of Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail and Agnes Fraser), received letters of legitimation three years before his elder brothers, 1 July 1539.1 He is tihen described as "familiar servitor" of th6 king, and so on several other occasions, particularly when, 1 April 1542, he had a crown grant, to him and his heirs male and female, of the lands of (Mid) Fairburn, Kirk Fairburn, Achnasoul and Balvraid, and a further grant, 28 July 1542, included the lands of Moy Muir (Moymore). 2 "I would," wrote Murdoch's descendant in the Fortyfive, "bring no tash or imputation on the little family I represent, by showing that I would oppose the lineal heir male of the Stuart line, as this small shealling I possess was given my predecessor by King James the Fifth in free gift. " 3 The King died in December 1542, which probably causeo Murdoch to leave court and to take up residence on his property. He appears in Ross.shire in 1543 and onwards, as of F_airburn, serving on various assizes.4 He died 20 Dece·m·ber 1590 and in his will, dated 13 December 1590, he desired burial in the Abbey Kirk of Beauly. 5

MACKENZIE OF TOLLY

t

' John Mackenzie, second son of Murdoch Mackenzie of Fairburn (who died in 1590), by his first wife, Marabell Urquhart, is mentioned in the will of his father (the second wife being then alive), as entitled to £100 Scots from his late mother. He was minister of Dingwall and many times witnessed deeds. He is stated to [have died 22 August 1620 at Dingwall.

He married (i) Margaret Grant, said to have been a daughter of Grant of Ballindalloch. She died at DingwaH, 27 October 1601, and her testa­ ment dative and inventory were confirmed 23 December 1602.1 From the list of debts it appears that she and her husband rented Tolly and Little Kinnairdie, near Dingwall, from Kenneth Mackenzie of Kintail.

He is said to have married (2) a daughter of Fraser of Struy.

He had issue by his first wife, Margaret Grant, a son and two daughters, named in the testament:-

APPENDIX I.

MACKENZIE LAIRDS AND WINDOW TAXES

Apart from scattered descriptions, contained in a variety of books and pamphlets, dealing with the latter half of the eighteenth century, a very good guide to the actual size of the different houses is to be found in the accounts of the "Rates and duties upon houses, windows and lights, arisen in the several parishes of the shire of Ross," etc.1 It i$ nece.ssary, however, to bear in mind, as indeed the accounts themselves indicate, that, not infrequently, windows were deliberately blocked up, to avoid payment of all or part of thi.s vexatious and unhygienic tax.

The shadow cast over the Highlands by the ill-fated Stuart Risings, a shadow which has never wholly left them, lies across these folio pages. Some !houses were uninhabited, some were half in ruins, some estates had already changed hands, by fortunes made out of the misfortunes of others. A few lairds had prospered in the East or W es.t Indies., and had added to their old homes, bringing sorely needed ca.sh to their districts, but on the ,vhole it was a time of want and distress, aggravated by a premature intercourse with richer England. Sheep were, more or less, still to come, to bring additional sorrows to the country. The temptation wa,s. great, and many properties were saved, but the glens were desolate, the whole face of the Highlands changed.

At the time of the Fortyfive the Mackenzies owned vast districts in the shire of Ross and practically the whole of the shire of Cromarty. It is not possible to deal with every Mackenzie !home, mentioned in the returns, but, commencing ·with the year i 753, most of the ·more important are given, parish by parish.

1 The author is indebted to Mr C. T. Mclnnes of H.M. Register House for most kindly drawing attention to these returns. 158 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES

URRA Y.-Here stood, and still stands, the castle of BRAHAN, the eastern home of the chief, built early in the seventeenth century. It was, indeed, the only home, after Ellandonan had been rendered uninhabit­ able.2 In 1753, we read, in the returns of that year, ''Lord Fortrose Brahan waste.'' No charge is entered, but the number of lights was then 72. In 1759, when it was still uninhabited, the number had been reduced to 62. By the year 1782, when the tax was paid by Colonel Humberston Mackenzie of Seaforth, there was a further reduction of ligihts, to 46, at which figure the return stood, in 1790, for the "Laird of Seaforth," later created Lord Seaforth and Lord Mackenzie of Kintai.l, in the peerage of Great Britain. The house of ORD, in the days of Thomas Mackenzie of Ord (1758) had 14 lights which were taxed, but, presumably, part of the house was not inhabited, because 31 lights appear to have existed. By 1782 there was a reduction to 11, the same number being returned Ill 1790.

The old tower of FAIRBURN had 16 lig·hts, but seems to have been abandoned some tirne after i 758, becau.se Alexander Mackenzie of Fairburn is shown in that year as having two houses of 16 and 14 lights, but, later, the tower of Fairburn is shown (untaxed) with 16 lights. Alexander's son, Roderick Mackenzie of Fairburn, died in 1774, and thereafter the la.st Mackenzie of Fairburn was serving In the army and absent from home.

In 1758, Thomas Mackenzie of HIGHFIELD had 30 ligfhts, but in the time of George Gillanders (1790) there were only 24. l(ILMUIR WESTE,R. - In this parish, in 1759, George Mackenzie of ALLAN GRANGE paid for 13 lights, but for a ''separate !house therefrom,'' which had 9 lights, no charge is shown. By the year 1782, additions see-m to have been made, because John Mackenzie of Allangrange had 19 lights. Eight years later there were no less than 54, a possible sequence to the Falconer rnarriage. In 1759, the house of PITLUNDIE was just within the limit of taxation, with 7 lights. l(ILTEARN.-As a comparison with Mackenzie houses, it is useful occa,­ siona:lly to note those of other f amilie.s, and perhaps one of the most famous in Ross-shire is FouLIS CASTLE, which, as early as 1758, had the then very large number of 83 lights. After the Fortyfive, Sir Harry Munro had rebuilt what was probably the second stronghold

2 The stronghold on the island in Loch Kiuellan was abandoned, after Brahan was built, possibly before it was :finished. There was a residence also at Chanonry. APPENDIX I. 159

of that very ancient family, and, as he planned it, so it stands to-day. He had also ARDULLIE, which had (1790) 24 lights, and DRUMMOND had then 21.s One Mackenzie house of note in this parish, in 1753, was Clyne, soon after to be known as MoUNTGERALD, with reference to the supposed Geraldine origin of the Clan. Colin Mackenzie of Mountgerald paid for 19 lights, in 1758, and 20 in 1782. The property of Inchcoulter, as owned by George Mackenzie of Inch­ coulter, lay partly in the parish of Kiltearn and partly in the parish of Alness. BALCONY, where the laird himself lived, had, in 1758, 19 lights, but by the year 1782 additions seem to ~ave been made, because his grandson, another George Mackenzie, and the last male owner of that property, paid for 28 lights.

ALNESS.-Here was the AsSYNT, which formed part of the above­ ·mentioned property of Inchcoulter, and Alexander Mackenzie, the first George's son, w·as living there, in 1758, with 14 lights. In this parish stands NovAR House, whiclh, in 1782, had exactly the same number of lights as Foulis had, in 1758, namely 83. A few years later (1790), Sir Hector Munro of Novar had added 20 more lights, paying for the wholr, £10 6s; . but the number returned in i 797 was again 83, a:t a cost, of £8 6s, at which date Munro of TEANINICH only paid for 17 lights.

ROSSKEEN.-One of the oldest Mackenzie properties in this parish was KINCRAIG. In 1758, Captain J ohh Mackenzie of Kincraig paid for 14 lights., but, in 1790, there were only 10. This may !have been due to the long ·minority of his distant kinsman and successor, Lieutenant John Mackenzie, the estate having formed for many years a sort of pendicle to Redcastle, which, indeed, had troubles of its own. The Mackenzie of ARDR0SS had two houses, namely, ARDROSS and TOLLY. At the former lived, in 1753, John Mackenzie of Ardross, with 18 lights, while his son, Murdoch Mackenzie, afterwards of Ardross, living at the latter, had 19 lights. But by 1758 the father had 26 lights, though only 20 are re-turned in 1782, while, in 1790, the number had been further reduced to 10. The family of Ardross was already feeling the pinch, while the M:acleod.s4 of Cadboll, who had migrated to the present INVERG0RD0N CASTLE, were, in 1790, credited with 90 lights.

8 The Munros of Allan (Fearn parish) were taxed for 18 lights, in 1782, and the Munros of Culcairn for 15 lights, in 1790. (Rosskeen parish). 4 Another Macleod laird, Donald Macleod of Geanies, was, in 1790, taxed for 54 lights. (Tarbat parish). 160 SOME MACKENZIE PEDIGREES

SUDDIE.-In this former parish of the Black Isle, now absorbed in Kilmuir Wester, William Mackenzie of SuDDIE, whose family had been so long resident there, had, in 1753, only a small house of 12 lights, increased to 14, in i 758, and to 15, in 1790. The Mackenzies of Kilcoy, on the other [hand, who were living at the house of TORE, had: in the time of Charles Mackenzie of Kilcoy (i 790), 40 lights. MUIRTOWN, in this parish (not to be confused vvith Muirtown, in the parish of Urray, where the new house of Fairburn now stands) ha.d, in i 753, 14 lights, and was the property of Alexander Mackenzie, pf the Kilcoy family. BELMADUTHY was, in 1753, "dead and waste,~': but a later return reveals that, though not inhabited, it had i9 lights.

KILLEARNAN.-Here was the Castle of KILCOY which, in 1753, was "waste,'' but, in 1758, it seems to !have been inhabited by "Mr Kenneth Mackenzie,'' and is returned as having 13 lights. RED CASTLE had, in 1753, in the time of Roderick Mackenzie of Redcastle, 43 lights, but the.se had been reduced to 30, about the time of its purchase by James Grant. Kenneth Murchison of TARRADALE had, in 1790, 14 lights.

KILMUIR EA8TER.-Sir Charles Ross of BALNAG0WN is, in 1797, entered for 53 lights ; KINDEACE5 (William Robertson) in that year had only 13.

URQUHART.-In 1753, KINKELL Cas,tie had 18 lights and was the residence of "Lady Gairloch, senior," to wlhose husband's fa·mily that property belonged.6 In 1782, when it was occupied by "Mr Kenneth Mac­ kenzie,'' there were only 15 lights, and, in 1790, when Colin Mackenzie of Achilty was the tenant, there were 14 lights.

FODDERTY.-Alexander Mackenzie of DAVOCHMALUAG (for the old tower of D.avochmaluag) was taxed, in 1753, for 18 lights, while, in 1782, his successor, Alexander Mackenzie of Brae and Davochmaluag, paid for 17 lights. The Minister, the Reverend Colin Mackenzie, ancestor of the Glack family, had, in 1753, 14 lig,hts-11, in 1782. DocHCAIRN was reduced from 11 lights, in 1753, to 7, in 1782. No Mackenzie appears under CASTLE LEOD: the occupant, in 1758, when the number of lights was 36, was Captain John Forbes, presumably of Newe, factor under the commissioners for the forfeited estates.

5 The other Kindeace, renamed Bayfield, in the parish of Nigg, the former home of a Ross family, had, inh 790, 28 lights. 6 In 1782 Sir Hector Mackenzie of Gairloch was taxed for 30 lights, in the parish of U rray, presumably Conon House. APPENDIX I. 161

CONT IN .-Sir Alexander Mackenzie of C0UL had, in 1758, 22 lights, KINELLAN7 14 ; but, in 1782, Kinellan is shown as only having 7 lights.

DINGWALL.-In this parish were no important Mackenzie homes. The Baynes who had for long been at TULLOCH, ca-me to grief, and that property was acquired by the Davidsons, who, in 1782, were taxed for 88 windows. In Dingwall itself, however, were numerous Mac­ kenzies. In 1772, Provost Alexander Mackenzie had 20 lig1h ts in his house; in 1783, Bailie Hector ·Mackenzie had 19; (Provost Andrew Robertson 17); Mr Colin Mackenzie, writer, ii; Mr William :Mac­ kenzie, schoolmaster, 8; while two other Mackenzies had 8, and four had 7 lights, all liable for taxation.

In the western part of the county, there were no Mackenzie houses of consequence.

GAIRLOCH.-In 1759, Sir Alexander Mackenzie of GairloC)h paid for 24 lights; but, in 1797, when FL0WERDALE is mentioned, there were only 18. The family had begun to live as much in the east as in the west. In 1782, Murdo Macrae was taxed for only 8 windows at INVEREWE, and John Mackenzie for only 7 at LETTEREWE.

APPLECROSS.-John Mackenzie of APPLECR0SS had, in 1759, a house of 26 lights, reduced to 22, in 1782; and to 20, in 1790.

LOCHBROOM.-Even as late as 1782, Kenneth Mackenzie of DuND0NNELL had only 9 lights to his house, unless several had been blocked up; GRUINARD had but 7; though it may be supposed that, in many cases, especially in the west, there were two or three small houses, detached from one another, only one of which had sufficient lights to be taxed. LocHEND (John Mackenzie) had, in f 759, 11 Hghts. The house of INVERLAEL was inhabited by "George Mackenzie, heckler," and had 13 li@hts. A note states that the "Station house of Inverlael" had 19 lights and was a factory.7a

A close study of these re-turns 1night well repay the student of local history-attention has here only been drawn to them, in relation to the lVI ackenzies.s

7 Not the old Kinellan on the island in the loch, but the house which (enlarged) remains to-day. 7a Evidently in connection with the linen trade. 8 Outside Ross-shire, by way of comparison, two houses are taken at random. Roderick Chisholm was taxed, in 1753, for 35 windows at Erchless (Kilmorack parish), and the distinguished orientalist, James Fraser, had the same number at Moniack~ that is Easter Moniack, now Reelig (parish of Kirkhill). 162

APPEND IX I I .

MACKENZIE FREEHOLDERS (1793)1

At the end of the eighteenth century, the title of Freeholder wa~ still applicable only to those who held, direct from the Crown, a forty shilling land of old extent or £400 Scots of valued rent.

The total valuation for the County of Ross was then £75,040-10sh.-3d, and that of Cromarty £12,897-2sh.-8d. Together these were considerably larger than the value of the County of Inverness-£73,188-9.sh. By con­ trast, the valuation of Fife, which heads the list, was £362,584-7sh.-5d.

There were at this date no Greater Barons in Ross or Cromarty. Francis Humbers.ton Mackenzie of SEAFORTH was not raised to the peerage till i 797 and was therefore still a Lesser Baron. He, however, comes first in the list, with the whole of the four parishes of the Lewes (Stornoway, Uig, Barvas, and Lochs), valued at £52'50; practically the -whole of the two mainland parishes of I(intail and Glenshiel; at £3609-7sh.; £2900 in Lochalsh; and £673-i3sh.-4d in Urray.

Sir Hector Mackenzie of GAIRLOCH comes next, with £2259 in Gairloch; £777-5sh. in Urquhart and Logie Wester; and £200 in Lochbroom.

Sir Roderick Mackenzie of ScATWELL is entered for £1687 in Avoch; £1233 in Urquhart and Logie Wester; £251 in Cantin; and £100 in Culli­ cudden.

Sir ·Alexander Mackenzie of CouL is entered for £1075 in Cantin; £516 in Lochbroom; and £34-i0sh. in Urray.

1 From a contemporary Manuscript. 2 All figures are Scots, APPENDIX It.

The rest of the Mackenzie Freeholders were·:- APPLECRoss-In Lochcarron, £i854-i0sh.; and in Applecross, £1546.

KILCOY-ln Knockbain, £954-16sh.-6d; in Killearnan, £53i-16Sh.-4d; and in Contin, £100.

FAIRBURN-In Contin, £668; and in Urray, £633-9sh.-8d.

DUNDONNELL-In Lochbroom, £1025.

HILTON-In Cantin, £749; and in Fodderty, £567.

INCHCOULTER3-In Alness, £380; in Kiltearn, £341; and in Fodderty, £166-13sh.-4d.

ALLANGRANGE-In Knockbain, £752-iOsh.; and in Rosemarkie, £110 iOsh.

STRATHGARVE-ln Contin, £600.

LETTEREWE-ln Gairloch, £390; and in Lochbroom, £40.

ScoTSBURN-In Logie Easter, £207; in Fearn, £183-13sh.-4d; and in Kilmuir Easter £30-iOsh.

ORD-In Urray, £240; in Contin, £i61-6sib..-8d.

KINDEACE4-In Nigg, £404.

In addition to the Mackenzie Freeholders of Ross, the valuation shows 14 other Mackenzies, whose valuations were under £400, or whose holdings were feus.

In Cromarty, the only Mackenzie Freeholder was Kenneth Mackenzie, representative of the Earldom of Cromartie-In Fodderty, £1663-i5sh.; in Lo0hbroom, £15i8-13sh.-4d; in Kihnuir Easter, £875; in Logie Easter, £246; and in Kincardine, £115-iOsh.

3 This property was then owned by Miss Mackenzie, who had, of course, no vote. 4 Now Bayfield.
