from Balbithan MS




"Sir Adam Gordon married, secondly, Helen Tyrie, daughter of Sir William Tyrie, of Drumkilbo, and their eldest son, Patrick, succeeded to Glenbucket. Sir Adam died in September, 1629, and, according to the Balbithan and Pitfour MSS., was buried within the church of Glenbucket. It is worthy of note that in the same year a new parish church was erected. Perhaps it was intended as a memorial of Sir Adam, who was warmly attached to the glen."
