  Marriage Notes:

"Alexander Burnet of Leys married, soon after, if not before, his father's death, Katherine, eldest daughter of Alexander Gordon of Lesmoir. Allusion is also made to her in one of Duncan Burnet's letters. The records tell us that she was, in 1605, infeft by her husband in the liferent of Tillydrine and the west half of Tillihaikie (Reg. of Sasines ), and there is among the Leys charters a renunciation by her of her terce ot certain lands. Mention has already been made of her arms, impaled with those of her husband on the outside wall of the castle, and depicted on the ceiling of the chapel. The principal bedchamber contains a large carved oak bedstead, on the roof of which, with the date 1594, is both the coat of Burnet simply and that of Burnet impaled with Gordon of Lesmoir, also the initials A. B. and K. G., figures taken from the armorial coats being introduced here and there in an ornamental form."
