   User ID: X137.

  General Notes:

"Around 1480 Walter Innes (2nd son of Robert Innes 11th of that Ilk) got the lands of Invermarkie from the Earls of Atholl and Huntly. Water's son - Robert Innes - was appointed Lieutenant-General of the kingdom, and did well enough to be created constable of the fortress of Ethirdurver in the Black Isle. The Black Isle was part of the Earldom of Moray, Robert and James Earl of Moray became great friends. When James died in 1544, he left the lands of Coxton to Robert in his will - even though it was technically not his to give him (James sold Redhall, Stynie and Blackhills to the 1st Laird of Cromey in 1523, also technically illegal). The R.I. on the panel over the door refers to this Robert. Robert married Elizabeth Stewart, who was sister to the Duke of Atholl and niece to King James II. Elizabeth's father was given Balvenie in 1454, which later was owned by the Innes's. Robert died in 1547. He had four sons (Robert, Walter of Achlunkart, Alexander and John Innes of Edingight)."
