NUMBERS ATTACHED TO LAIRDS OF INNES

Modern numbering of the lairds of Innes lists fewer lairds than does the old text by Duncan Forbes of Culloden.

In Ane Account of the Familie of Innes compiled at the end of the 17th century, Forbes plots the progress of the family from Berowald, who probably lived in the 12th century, but during the period 1270 until 1367 there is a dearth of written texts, and the laird names Forbes offers differ from the numbering of lairds by modern secondary sources.
