"In 1581 George Ross, 'fiar of Balnagownie,' gives the liferent of certain lands of the Barony, 'with the mill there and the astricted multures,' to Marjory Campbell, daughter of the deceased Sir John Campbell of Cawdor. In the same year James VI. granted her a Crown charter of these lands. It is probable that George was aware of his sister's attempts to poison his wife, which, unfortunately, were partially successful, as it is known from the trial of 1590, that 'of the quhilk poysonn the young lady Balnagowan contracted deadlie sickness (in 1577) quhairin sche remains yet incurable'; that is thirteen years afterwards."
