Notes |
- Andrew took part in a riot which occurred in Dingwall in 1721, and was obliged to go into exile. He went to the Netherlands and joined the Scottish Brigade there. He proved himself to be a very efficient and able soldier and rose to the rank of Colonel and Brigadier of his regiment, commanding it throughout the war between Holland and France.
The Scotish Brigade, as such, was disbanded and taken into the service of Great Britain when Colonel Andrew Munro retired in 1793. Andrew returned home and took up residence with his son-in-law, the Rev. Angus Bethune, in the manse of Alness, where he died about 1809.
