This man may have been the one referred to as Chamberlain to the 6th laird of Freuchie:

"Of two such journeys (to Edinburgh) made in 1620 by the young Laird to the metropolis, and of his proceedings there, an interesting record exists in the accounts of Gregor Grant, apparently of Gartinmore, his chamberlain on those occasions, which have been preserved."
