By Margaret Dunbar, Robert had issue...

2. Hector, I. of Contullich, from whom are descended the families of Contullich, Gildermorie, and Fyrish, and of whom in their order.

...the superiority of the lands of Creich was purchased by the Munros in 1541. In 1589 Hector Munro is served heir male and of entail to his father Robert Munro of Fowlis "the elder, in the superiority of the land of Creichmor in Breachat, and the fishings of Kellisoquill (Kyle Oykel) both in salt water and in fresh, lying in the Earldom or Ross and barony of Fowlis.

On the 22nd of July, 1590, Hector was arraigned before a jury at Edinburgh for the crimes of "sorcery, incantation, witchcraft, slaughter, etc.," his trial taking place immediately after that of his stepmother, already referred to. The proceedings are recorded at length in Pitcairn's Criminal Trials, vol. i., part ii., pages 201-204, and the "Dittay," or indictment, extended over the period which had elapsed since 1588. The chief accusation against him was his having, through "inchantments" caused the death of his half-brother George, who "did take ane deadlie sickness in the month of Apryle, 1590 yeirs, and contineward thairin quhile Junij (till June) thaireafter, deceissit in the said month of Junij, being the third day of that instant." In this case the incantation was a doze of slow poison; and his paternal uncle, Hector Munro of Fyrish, appears to have been implicated in the matter. Hector of Fowlis "all uterlie denyit" the charge and was acquitted by the assize, and was "prouniceit and declarit to be acquit and innocent of all the heidis of the said Dittey." He thus escaped any serious consequences from his alleged crimes; but his trial and that of his stepmother are curious incidents in the annals of the family.

The second son of Robert IV of Foulis inherited large estates and was first of families of Kildermorie, Fyrish and Tullochue.

"Hector Munro of Contulich and Kildermory married a daughter of Hector Roy McKenzie of Gairloch by her he had William John George and Hugh and a daughter Janet that married McKay of Auchness."

Although the "Munro Tree" states that the wife of Hector Munro of Fyrish, Contullich and Kiltermorie married a daughter of Hector Roy Mckenzie of Gairloch, ref 1 argues convincingly that this was impossible. There is no trace of such a daughter in the Gairloch genealogies. Hector Roy died at a very advanced age in 1528, whereas a sasine to this supposed daughter, Helen, is dated nearly eighty years later, and is in favor of Helen Munro, on a charter by Hector Munro of Kildermorie, dated 15 Dec 1607.
