    • Hector Munro of Novar was a Commissioner of Supply for Ross in 1698 and 1704. He had a crown charter of Achnagall and other lands. He served as factor or chamberlain on the Sutherland estate.

      He was an elder in the Parish Church of Alness for many years, and in 1701, he sat as the ruling elder in the Presbytery of Dingwall.

      In Dec 1714, Hector was one of the "considerable persons of the shires of Ross and Sutherland" who signed an address to King George I, imploring his Royal mecy for Simon Lord Lovat on his return from France at the instigation of Major James Fraser of Castleleathers.
