"Hugh Munro of Eriboll married Euffem daughter to Hugh McKy of Scoury by whom he had John Robert George Donald and Hugh."

"Hugh of Erriboll, Commissioner of supply for Sutherland 1685, 1689, 1690; son Robert said to be Captain who m 1703 Christian dr of Hugh Fraser of Eskadale and was father of John min of South Uist and then Eddrachillis d 1755."

In Feb 1668, Hugh's brother-in-law, William Mackay, was on his way to Orkney when he was seized at Dunnet by the Earl of Caithness. He was carried to Thurso and imprisoned in a loathsome dungeon where he was confined for some time and barbarously treated. He was ultamately released and sent home in an open boat, but on the day after his arrival, he died from the effects of his treatment.

In March 1668, William Sinclair of Dunbeath, a cousin of the Earl of Caithness, invaded Lord Reay's country and kidnapped Hugh, his brother William, and his uncle William of Rosehall. He took them to Caithness and imprisoned them in Castle Sinclair, in pits and foul dungeons, where he left them confined for several weeks.

As Hugh's brother-in-law, Hector was on the way to Edinburgh the following August, he was waylaid and assassinated in Aberdeenshire by William Sinclair of Dunbeath and John Sinclair of Murkle, who were cousins of the Earl of Caithness.

In Dec 1668, Hugh Munro, John Lord Reay, and John, Earl of Sutherland lodged a complaint against the Earl of Caithness before the Court of Justiciary. The complaint cited the murder of William and Hector Mackay, and the invasion and kidnapping.

To meet this complaint, the Earl of Caithness raised a counter action against the complainers, alleging several crimes extending back as far as 1649. In both actions, the respective parties were summoned to appear in Court the same day on 10 Dec 1668.

It was found that the complaint lodged by the Earl of Caithness was based on false information and was abandonded. The other complaint was settled by a compromise agreeable to both.

"...son Robert said to be Captain who m 1703 Christian dr of Hugh Fraser of Eskadale and was father of John min of South Uist and then Eddrachillis d 1755."

Robert joined the army and attained the rank of Captain in Dumbarton's Regiment, later called the Royal Regiment of 1st Foot of the British line. At the same time, his uncle, General Hugh Mackay of Scourie was also a Captain in the same regiment.

In 1672, King Charles II, lent the regiment to King Louis of France, and Robert took part in the expedition against the United Provinces. Captain Mackay disapproved of King Louis' goals and resigned his commission. He then entered the service of the States-General, and was appointed Captain in the Scottish Dutch Brigade. His nephew, Robert of Erribol accompanied him.

In 1685, the Brigade was called home to assist in quelling Monmouth's rebellion, on which occasion Captain Mackay was created a Major-General and appointed a member of the Scottish Privy Council. General Mackay and Captain Robert Munro were subsequently engaged in Scotland and Ireland, fighting for William, Prince of Orange.

After retiring from the army, Robert was married and raised a large family of sons. All of his sons except his heir, John, went abroad.
