Not fully in sympathy, it is said, with the political views of her illustrious husband, she, in 1644, withdrew from Kincardine to Forfarshire and lived with her two youngest children, partly at her jointure-house of Old Montrose and partly with her father at Kinnaird."

"Magdalene, the youngest daughter, married, 10 November 1629, to James, Earl and afterwards Marquess of Montrose, to whom Lord Southesk was guardian. By their marriage-contract, dated 1 November of that year, she was infeft in the liferent of the lands and barony of Old Montrose, the lands of Fullartone, and 'thrid pairt landis of Ananie,' and the lands of Marietoun with fishings, etc. Her tocher was £40,000 Scots. It was further arranged that the young Marquess and his wife should live at Kinnaird for the first three years after their marriage. The Marquess was only seventeen years of age at the timeof his marriage. His portrait by George Jameson, painted in his wedding suit, is at Kinnaird.
