Notes:

Christian (or Christina) and her two younger sisters were left orphans at a young age. Her father died in 1705, when Christian was only nine years old. It is said that the Mackenzies, who knew that she would succeed to a fair fortune for those days, resolved to kidnap her in order to marry her to one of their own relatives when she arrived at a suitable age. The old family nurse placed Christian in a creel, covered her over with cabbages, and walked down one avenue from the house with the creel on her back while the Mackenzies rode up the other.

The faithful nurse in this way got clear away with her charge and found her way to Foulis Castle, where Sir Robert, the twenty-third Baron, received her hospitably, and agreed, on the solicitations of the nurse, to bring up the girl until she arrived at an age to choose a husband for herself. The "Heiress of the Creel" as she was called, ultimately married Sir Robert's son, George.

Notes:

John Munro of Culcairn (sometime of Bombay) married the daughter of Thomas Ross of Calrossie.

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/68 & Y/2

Ref: "The Munro Tree (1734)" by R. W. Munro - L/67

"Christane married Captaine George Munro of Culcarn son to Fowlis by whom he had Mr John Andrew George and Duncan."

"Mr John Munro younger of Culcarn."

"John of Culcairn, sometime of Bombay, d 24 Aug 1766 (FW 375, Love's Vestiges of Old Madras ii 549, Scots Mag 1766 p 437); wife Katharine dr of Thomas Ross of Calrossie d 11 Jun 1757 (Scots Mag 326)."

John appears to have led a quiet country life at home. In 1751, he established a bleachfield on the spot where later the Culcairn mills stood. It was then the only one in the county of Ross. For several years it succeeded pretty well, but after John's death it passed through the hands of different managers, and was not so successful.

John married Katharine, the daughter of Thomas Ross of Calrossie.
