  Marriage Notes:

"Katherine (Scougal) (marr. (3) Roderick Mackenzie of Kinchullardrum)"

from Fasti Ecclesiae (vol 7)




"V. Roderick, I. of Kinachulladrum, who married, first, Anna, daughter of Ogilvie of Glencairn (see Note below), in 1668 (sasine 1670), with issue - (1) Alexander, II. of Kinachulladrum, who married Anne, daughter of Alexander Mackenzie, III. of Applecross (marriage contract 1707), with issue - Anne, his only child alive in 1766; (2) Kenneth, who died without issue ; and two daughters. Roderick married, secondly, Catherine Scougall, daughter of the Bishop of Aberdeen, with issue, all of whom died young."

from History of the Mackenzies

Note:

"Anna, daughter of Ogilvie of Glencairn" is an error.

In 1637 Anne Ogilvy, daughter of James Ogilvy, 2nd Lord Deskford, then 1st Earl of Findlater and his wife Elizabeth Leslie, contracted to marry William Cunningham, 9th Earl of Glencairn. Their children would have been surnamed Cunningham, not Ogilvy.

Possibly 'Glencairn' is a mistake for 'Glencairn'. The Mackenzie family were involved in the 1650s in the failed Royalist action named the 'Glencairn and Middleton Risings', and this may have led to the confusion.




"He (Roderick Mackenzie) married (2) Katherine, eldest daughter of Patrick Scougall, Bishop of Aberdeen, and widow of William Scrogie, Bishop of Argyle, and of Patrick Forbes, Bishop of Caithness. Her marriage contract with Roderick Mackenzie was dated at Aberdeen, in 1680, she having a jointure of £3000 Scots from her first husband. In 1700, as widow of Patrick, Bishop of Caithness, and wife of Roderick, she granted a discharge, in respect of a bond in her favour for 7000 merks, from lands in the parish of Wick. She was served heir, 20 March 1705, to her brother, Sir James Scougall of Whitehill, a lord of Session."
