In 1678, Hugh Munro of Teaninich, brought suit against William Munro proprietor of half the lands of Culcraggie; John Mackenzie of Davochcairn, proprietor of a fourth of the lands of Culcraggie; Andrew Munro of Coul, proprietor of a fourth of the lands of Culcraggie; and John Munro of Fyrish, proprietor of a quarter of the lands of Fyrish. Hugh claimed that the other four were not paying him enough for the use of his Mill of Culmalachie. The four were summoned before the Lords of Council and Session to have the case heard, but before the trial date, the group settled their differences in a contract dated at Alness in 1679.

In 1699, William sold Nether Culcraggie to William Simpson, who held it until 1736. Its valued rental in 1728 was 185 pounds Scots.

His wife was Ellen, daughter of the Rev. David Ross, minister of Logie-Easter (ref. 1), or Bethia, daughter of Mr. David Belsillie, Minister of Corstorphine (R.W. Munro).
