Andrew Munro, first of Culnauld, was the third son of Andrew Beg Monro, III. of Milntown, now New Targat, by his wife Euphemia, daughter of James Dunbar of Tarbat and Ballone Castle, Easter Ross, and grand-daughter of Sir James Dunbar of Westfield, County of Moray.

John Munro of Balcony and Coul lived at Ord of Inverbrene and was named "Waddie" or "a mhadaidh" from having killed a wolf. He took his M.A. in 1498 at Aberdeen University. He was presented to the vicarage of Logy and Urquhart when it was vacant.

"Mr John Munro of Balcony and Coul married Mcby of Strathchonnins daughter Margaret by whom he had John Hugh William Andrew David and Donald."

"John was presented to vicarage of Logy and Urquhart i.e. Logie-Urquhart when vacant; wife Margaret called McLeay in Culcairn copy and McKenzie in Teaninich copy.

There is reason to believe that the Munros of Balcony in this MS are identical with the Munros of Urquhart on record from 1556 until kirklands of Balconie were acquired by Hector Munro of Clynes later Sir Hector of Foulis; the John/Hugh/Robert succession in both is significant, and other similarities are noted..."

In 1551, Queen Mary presented William Munro, second son of Sir William Munro, twelfth Baron of Fowlis, to the Chaplainary of Saint Monan, on the lands of Balconie, vacant by the decease of John Munro.
