"2. William, who entered the Church. He appears as Vicar of Dingwall between 1561 and 1566, but an Exhorter was nominated as his successor in 1569. In 1551 Queen Mary presented him to the Chaplainry of Saint Monan, on the lands of Balconie, vacant by the death of John Munro, eldest son of Hugh Munro of Coul. Between 1561 and 1566 the Chaplainry of Saint Monan was still held by William Munro, minister of Dingwall, apparently the same William as Queen Mary's presentee of 1551. He died about 1566, certainly before 1569.
In 1563 a charter was granted to Robert, at Fowlis, by his grand-uncle, William Munro, Vicar of Dingwall. (Register of the Great Seal, Lib. xxxii., Nos. 593-594, and Register of the Privy Seal, vol. xxxi., folios 98 and 99.)"
