William received as his patrimony the lands of Meikle Allan, parish of Fearn, which known as the Maordom of Allan, belonged at the Reformation wholly or in part to the Bishoop of Ross, who includes them in the rental of the bishopric returned between 1561 and 1566, to the Collector of Thirds. In 1569 James VI. granted to Andrew Beg Munro, William's father, the escheat of all the goods upon the quarter lands of Meikle Allan, with the crops of that year, forfeited by John Leslie, Bishop of Ross, for treason and lese-majesty.
