**********
Andrew inherited the lands of Daan in the Edderton Parish when his brother, John died without a male heir. He later became Andrew of Limlair.
Andrew's brother, Hector Munro of Fowlis, granted him the lands of Daan in a charter dated Aug 1601. These lands had been held by their brother, John, who died without a male heir. There is recorded on 24 Jul 1607, a sasine on a charter by Andrew Munro of Meikle Davauch, with consent of Hector Munro of Foulis in favor of Beatrix Ross, the widow of Andrew's brother, John.
In 1603, Andrew was appointed Tutor to his nephew, Robert of Fowlis for the remainder of that chief's minority. During the short period that Andrew occupied that responsible trust, he is said to have managed the estate very successfully and much to the advantage of the young Baron when he became of age and able to take legal charge of his own affairs.
Andrew acquired the lands of Limlair a few years before his death. It is not known whether he purchased them or if they were given to him by his nephew for his judicious management while acting as Tutor of Foulis.
On 7 Sep 1607, Andrew had a charter from George Ross of Balnagowan for the lands of Pitmadowie.
