  • Notes 
    • Hector entered the army and rose to the rank of Major.

      He appears to have sold the Assynt estate to his son-in-law, Alexander Mackenzie of Coul, who gave it to his son, Kenneth, who in 1644, appears as proprietor. Hector, however, had purchased for his son, the lands of Inveran and of Achness, from John Gordon of Embo.
