Research Notes:
GLENBEG
"The stream which flows down from Tobair-Alline, where it takes its rise, through Glenbeg, and which from that circumstance is now called the Glenbeg Burn, evidently, in earlier days, bore the name of the Allan, and gave the designation of Inverallan to the district which surrounds the lower part of its course. At its confluence with the Spey there appears to have been, in former days, a strong fort, whence, probably, the earlier Lords of Inverallan bore sway over their little territory, and dispensed feudal justice to their dependants."
"As a separate estate, the lands of Inverallan were composed of three davochs. They were situated on the west side of the river Spey, and extended several miles up the river from the vicinity of Castle Grant. In these three davochs are comprised the lands of Kildreke or Dreggie, Glenbeg, Craggan, and Gaich."
Glenbeg and Inverallan generally had a complex history of ownership and superiority in the medieval period, and eventually were contested by the hays of Mayne and the Grants of Freuchie. By 1653 all right and title to Glenbeg was disponed to James Grant 7th Laird of Freuchie. 4
Robert married.
