Research Notes:
KIRKHILL
The Kirkhill referred to here may be Kirkhill of St. Andrew's, which was part of the Dunkinty estate near Elgin. the compiler of Ane Account of the Familie of Innes writes, at a much later date, than this man's lifetime:
"I find a disposition by Sir Alex. Innes of Cockstoun (I know not how he came to have the superiority) to George Innes of Dunkinty, of the towns and lands of Dunkinty, Easter and Wester Caldcotts, townes and maynes thereof, the town and lands of Gilmersyd, the town and lands of Kirkhill, and the town and lands of St. Andrews Kirktoun, with all and sundry their manor olaces, houses, biggings, yards, orchyards, dovecotts, milns, mill lands, multures, kiln?, barns, byres, oflSce houses, tofts, crofts, outsetts, insetts, mosses, mures, graisings, commonties, pasturages, parts, pendicles, with teinds, with the salraond fishing upon the water of Lossie, within the bounds of the said lands next adjacent thereto, . . . and sicklyke the great stone lodging and tenements of lands, high and laigh, back and fore, with their houses, biggings, yeards, and pertinents, lying within the burgh of Elgin, bounded as in the original rights and infeftments, dated 3 March, 1704. "
At a much earlier date, according to the same source, it came to Alexander Innes of Inner, husband of Christian Dunbar:
"A charter of King James IV., given at Inverness, 24 Jan., 1497, confirming a disposition by Beatrix Dunbar of Cremond to Alexander Innes of that ilk, (I suppose she was of kin to Christian, Laird Alexander's wife,) of Kilraalaymak, Petgony, Dunkempty, St. Andrews Kirktown, and Barflathills— is among the papers of the Inneses of Leuchars, which they have kept perhaps all the more carefully, that they could not keep the lands. Beatrix's charter is dated at Bogingour, 4 Sep., 1497, and is witnessed by Thomas Hay, her son."
It continues:
"In 1499, Alexander Innes of Innes granted many lands to his brother of the full blood, Robert of Cromy', Rothmakenzie, &c."
