An entry in the Presbytery records of Dingwall dated 5 Sep 1682 states that David and his brother, Donald, profaned the Kirk of Killichrist by putting some oxen inside of it one night. The brothers appeared before the Presbytery and claimed that the cattle had simply wandered into the Kirk because it had no door. Witnesses were called who testified that the brothers had asked to used the Kirk for their cattle but were refused. Since it could not be proven that they had deliberately driven the cattle into the Kirk, the two were simply rebuked for having asked to use the Kirk for their cattle. ******** The following is a transcription of RW "Billy" Munro's genealogy notes: [Alexander Monro] «i»Son of David Monro of Killichoan & Margaret Mackenzie; on record as 'younger of Killichoan' 1696, 1697, and as 'of Killichoan' 1703, (1708,1710), 1711,1716; m.

David was Edinburgh law agent for the Foulis family, and as some of thier writs were in his custody it is reasonable to presume that the present genealogy (1734) was compiled by him or under his supervision. David's successors were presumably indicated in two circles of which the text has been obliterated." Ref: "History of the Munros of Fowlis" by A. Mackenzie - Inverness (1898) - p. 294-296 VII. David Monro, born in 1696, and a minor, only seventeen years old. The estate was still loaded with wadsets and almost irretrievably involved in debt. David was educated in Edinburgh, where he studied for the legal profession, passed in 1735 as a Writer to the Signet, and was subsequently appointed Clerk to the Signet, an office which he held until his death. He devoted his whole life and energies to the redemption of the lands of his ancestors from the debts and other burdens in which he found them so deeply involved on his succession, and in this laudable endeavour--riding twice a year from Edinburgh to Allan, accompanied by his man servant, to collect the rents in person--he so far succeded as to find himself in a position to entail the estate on his nephew, Charles Mackenzie, the son of his sister Margaret. he was Edinburgh Law-Agent for the family of Fowlis, and it is said of him, when Sir Robert Munro, the fifth Baronet, and his brother Dr Duncan, were slain at the battle of Falkirk, on the 17th of January, 1746, that he went to the field of battle, claimed the bodies, had them interred in Falkirk Cemetery, and had the beautiful monument still seen there, and already described, erected to their memory. but Sir Walter Scott confirms the version given in the account of Sir Robert, under the family of Fowlis, by quoting a letter from Sir Harry Munro, Sir Robert's son, in which that gentleman gives the credit of this generous action to the Earl of Cromarty and a party of the Macdonalds. It is not, however, at all improbable that all the parties mentioned may have had their share in it. It has indeed been averred that it was the Earl of Cromarty's part in this creditable transaction that prompted President Forbes, Sir Robert Munro's cousin-german, to plead so earnestly and successfully for the life and the restoration of the estates of that forfeited nobleman. Upon Sir Robert's body David Monro of Allan found a small silver-mounted snuff-mull, cracked by one of the shots which killed its owner, and it is still preserved in Allan House. It bears an inscription, evidently placed upon it at a later date, for it will be observed that the wrong year is given, 1745 for 1746. It is as follows:--"Found after the battle of Falkirk, on the field, by David Monro of Allan, in the pocket of Sir Robert Munro of Fowlis (A.D. 1745), in which battle he was killed." David died in Edinburgh on the 6th of December, 1767, and was buried in the Old Grey Friars Churchyard there, all the Lords of Session attending the funeral, several of them in the capacity of chief mounrers, when he was succeeded in terms of his own entail by his nephew, his sister Margaret's son, who as already stated, assumed the name of Monro, as VIII. Charles Mackenzie Monro. ******** The following is a transcription of RW Munro's genealogy notes: [Alxander Monro] «i»of the Allan family, cousin of David Monro of Allan, W.S.

35946	David was minister of Kiltearn and JP at Inverness in 1634. He also served as minister at Tain. He had a charter of Killichoan. David and Florence also had several daughters. David studied for the Church at St Andrews University, where he obtained his M.A. degree on the 21 Jul 1621. He was licensed and appointed minister of Tarbat in 1628, but was soon transferred to the parish of Kiltearn. There is a sasine dated 12 Nov 1628, in favour of Mr David Munro, described as minister of Kiltearn, in part of the lands of Tarlogie. Sasine follows the same day, and he has another in which he is similarly designated on 15 Jun 1630. He was a member of the Generel Assemblies of 1638 and 1639, but was deposed by by the Presbytery of Dingwall in 1648, his deposition being confirmed by the Supreme Court of the Church in Jul 1649. The cause of this action was probably his compliance in Montrose's rebellion. He appears to have settled in Tain because on 30 May 1649, there is a sasine on a charter by Thomas Ross of Priesthill, with consent of David Munro, minister of Tain,...to Alexander Gray of Ospisdale, of the town and lands of Tarlogie.
