Glengerack. - He is described in 1654 as 'of Glengarok' - probably in right of his wife Nicolas, who was the widow of William Gordon of Glengerack." (pages 27 and 28)

Note: This also explains the information provided in Records of the County of Banff: "Glengerack, in the parish of Keith, was long a Gordon possession. Captain Adam Gordon appears as laird in 1640."
