• Notes

  Major Hugh Munro was the first of Assynt. He received the lands of Assynt and Inchcoulter, now Balconie, on the north bank of the Allt-Grand, parish of Alness from John Leslie, bishop of Ross. The grant was confirmed by King James VI on 19 Mar 1580. He also had a grant of other lands in Ross-shire. In 1552, Queen Mary granted him the non-entry and other dues of half the "lands of Ferrincosque in Brachat," lying between the rivers Shin and Cassley, namely the half of Inveran, with the half of the mill, multures, and fishing, the half respectively of Linside, Alltbeg, and Achness, with the half of the fishing lying in Queen Mary's hands since "the redemption and lowsing tharof maid be Thomas Dingwall of Kildun, furth of the handis of George Munro of Dochcarty." In 1577, King James VI granted to Hugh and his wife, a Crown charter of half the lands of the Intown of Easter Aird, in the parish of Fearn, "occupied by Hugh Munro, and alienated in heritage to him and his wife by James Dunbar of Tarbat." In 1584, Hugh bought from George Ross, X of Balnagowan, the lands of Strath-Oykel, Inverchassly, Glenminck, and the wood of Scatwell, "with Lounillodoch, Cromlie, the salmon fishing of the Halfapolmorall, Stronroschir, with the salmon fishing," all in Strath-Oykel and Strathcarron. ********** The following is from «u»The Monroe Book«/u» p. 6: «i»Hugh, third son of Robert, called Hugh of Assynt, married Christane, daughter of Robert Munro of Carbsdale, ancestry not provided but obviously a cousin. «/i»********** References: (1) "History of the Munros of Fowlis" by A.
