Marriage Notes:
Beatrix Garden was a noted harpist, about whom legend has grown up connecting her with Mary, Queen of Scots. See the website cited for more details.
"Beatrix Gardyn was a daughter of Gardyn of Banchory and became the second wife of Finlay More Farquharson. There had been four sons of his first marriage but as they in turn all seem to have produced daughters it was one of the progeny of his marriage to Beatrix who eventually became Farquharson of Invercauld. According to the 'Broughdearg' manuscript, a history of the 'name' of Farquharson compiled in 1733, Beatrix had five sons and five daughters by Findlay More, before he was killed at the battle of Pinkie in 1547. Beatrix was a busy lady, especially as following the death of her first husband she went on to marry John Tarlochson of Monzie and have several more children by him including the son whose line purchased Lude in 1621.
The manuscript history names and accounts for the descent of each of her children with Finlay More and if accurate means that if it is assumed that Beatrix was pregnant at the time of Finlay's death in 1547 her marriage must have occurred at the latest by 1537 and with the minimum female age for marriage in Scotland at that time being twelve years then she would have been born sometime before 1525. The lady seems to have been remarkably robust having outlived her second husband and she was still apparently alive in 1596 when she and her son Alexander Robertson took out a loan of £1000 secured over the lands of Inchmagranoch. While those lands were described in the contract as Alexander's, his mother clearly still had an interest in an estate which she and her late husband John Tarlochson of Monzie first acquired in 1564."
