Notes:

Error alert: It is very hard to estimate Catherine's birth date and make any sense out of it. Catherine was the 4th great granddaughter of Hugh Munro, I of Coul. Her husband, John was the great grandson of the same Hugh Munro, I of Coul, so there is a difference of 3 generations between Catherine and her husband. Expanding the dates as much as possible in John's line and compacting them as much as possible in Catherine's line still leaves nearly 50 years difference in their ages. I'm leaving that age difference as it is until I get more accurate information.

Hugh was educated in Edinburgh and became a "Litstar" or cloth-dyer there. He was sent to Holland by his brother, Robert, to learn more about his trade. He liked Holland so much that after several years' residence there, he sent to the Highlands for his younger brother, Andrew, to join him. He also married a Dutch woman, Elleta Bone, but they had no children.

Shortly after the Revolution of 1688, they both returned to Scotland, having obtained a contract for dyeing the cloth used for the uniforms of King William III's army.

Andrew Munro in Coul, litster, learned the dyeing trade in Holland with his brother, Hugh. After the Revolution, they won an army contract.

He settled at Coul in Alness parish in 1716. He was probably the compiler or sponsor of a genealogy showing his family's descent from Hugh Munro of Coul [2763].

His second wife, Kate, was the daughter of John Beaton of Culnaskeath. Andrew and Kate had three daughters in addition to the children listed.

"Robert of Ardullie married Isobell daughter to Alexr. Ross of pitkery by whom he had Alexr. James Hugh Andrew in Coul litster and Robert and a daughter Janet married to Teanard."

"...Andrew m 1 Ann Ogg and had Alexander and James then Kate Beaton dr of John of Culnaskeath and had John, Robert, Hector, William, Hugh and 3 drs..."

Andrew joined his brother, Hugh, in Holland to learn the textile dyeing trade. When they secured King William's contract for dyeing the cloth for army uniforms, they returned to Edinburgh.

Later, Andrew returned to his native county of Ross and settled for a few years at Contin. From there he moved to Balintraid, Kilmuir-Easter, and then to Delny and then to Aldie, near Tain. In about May 1716, he moved to Coul, near Alness.

He was an elder in the Alness church during part of the ministry of Rev. Daniel Mackillican. At a meeting of the Presbytery of Dingwall on 24 Apr 1717, it was reported that the congregation had chosen Andrew, ruling elder, to represent the the Parish at the next meeting of the Synod of Ross.

For several years he acted as factor for Albert Munro of Ferrytown and Coul.

It is believed that Andrew was the author of the Coul Munro manuscript, a valuable genealogical document.
