Walter married Dorothea TULLOCH before 4 April 1479.¹ (Dorothea TULLOCH was born about 1460.)

  Marriage Notes:

"John, third Lord Glamis, was in no measure inferior in point of energy and ability to his great ancestor the Chamberlain. In 1464, as Mr. John Lyon of Courtastoune, he received payment from the Crown for certain expenditure on the castles of Kildrummy and Kindrocht, of which his father Patrick, first Lord Glamis, had been Keeper, and he made material additions to the resources of the family. In 1479 he purchased from George Bell of the Holmys, Inchture, in the sheriffdom of Perth. From Dorothea Tulloch, one of the ladies of Bonyngtoun, and Walter Wode, her husband, he had a charter, on 4 April 1479, of one-half of the Loch Mills of Forfar."
