  General Notes:

"From an Inventory, itself more than three hundred years old, is found the following items applicable to the period of the Edmonstones, when proprietors of Culloden, which are applicable to the Strachans.

- A Charter granted by William Edmonstone of Duntreath to Alexander Strachan upon the lands and Barony of Culloden, dated at Perth, the 1st July 1506.

- The Precept of Sasine following upon the said Charter, of the day of the date of the foresaid Charter.

- The true Copy of the Precept of Sasine directed by William Edmonstone for infefting of Alexander Strachan in Culloden, under sign and subscription of Alexander Baxter, Notary Public. Primo Julii 1506.

The Edmonstones thus only retained Culloden for about fifty years, who according to Celtic Magazine (1879), sold the barony of Culloden (Ref. Appendix) to the Strachans of Thornton."
