PITALACHIE

"Pitellachie, sometimes called the barony of Kinaldie, or the Wester barony, the Easter Daughs and Melgum were purchased by the Invercauld family about 1670-80 from the previous Forbes proprietors. Deskry is believed to have fallen to them by inheritance, but this is doubtful. Easter Migvie, now Hopewell, was also purchased by Invercauld from Dr. Fairbairn in 1779; and a portion of the Moor of Coynach fell to that family by judicial allocation in 1828. For a long time the Invercauld family were the largest proprietors in Logie-Coldstone. Their lands were sold in 1865 - Pitellachie and Deskry to William B. Coltman, Esq., the Easter barony to the late John Duguid Milne, and Hopewell to the late Dr. Robertson."
