  Marriage Notes:

"Monboddo, in Kincardineshire, had been in the possession of a branch of the powerful family of Strachan for a long period; it subsequently belonged to the Wisharts of Pittarrow, and after them to the Carnegies. Sir John Carnegie of Monboddo married a daughter of Irvine of Kingcausie, and sold Monboddo to a brother-in-law, Captain Irvine, who is said to have served with Gustavus Adolphus, and commanded a troop of horse at the battle of Lutzen. On leaving the service in which he had been employed, he returned to this country, and took possession of Monboddo in 1633, and in 1635 built the 'Manor Place' on the site of an older building (most likely the keep long occupied by the Strachans).

Captain Irvine married Elizabeth Douglas, eldest daughter of Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, by whom he had two sons and three daughters. One of these daughters, Elizabeth Irvine, as stated below, became the wife of James Burnett of Lagavin, to whom Monboddo was eventually sold, circa 1671, by his brothers-in-law, the sons of Captain Irvine. James Burnett of Lagavin, Co. Kincardine, who purchased Monboddo, was the third son of James Burnett of Craigmyle and Elizabeth Burnett, his wife. James Burnett married (1st), in 1642, Isobel Forbes, who died without issue; (2nd) Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Irvine of Monboddo."
