• Notes

  Angus, commonly called Angus "Williamson" and known in tradition as Angus with the Brazen Face*," is fairly entitle to rank as one of the notables of Clan Chattan. The Rev. Hew Rose, historian of the Kilravock family, speaks of him as "a verie wittie and dareing man," and storied of his with and daring survived in tradition down to recent times. He and his immediate predecessors appear to have had their home in Petty, at Cullerny and Termit. His first appearance is in 1570, when as "Angus M'Donald vic William in Cullerny" he witnesses Letters of Reversion of the land of Clune by James Mac Donald Glas in favour of Lachlan, 16th chief; and he is still described as "in Cullerny" in 1580 when on 24 Sep. a pension of £100 a year is granted to him, under the privy seal out of the fruits of the parish kirks of Elgin and St. Andrews in the bishopric of Moray, for his good service to the king "both in the north and in the south" and for the great damage which he had sustained through his loyalty. He appears to have been with the chief at Edinburgh in Dec. 1572, when he is found as a witness to the bond of service to the king and the regent signed by Lachlan Mor in anticipation of his obtaining the lordship of Badenoch; Here he is described as "Angus M'Yntosche son and apparent heir of Donald M. of Cullerney." His first appearance in connection with Termit is in 1576 as witness to a contract between the chief and one of the Strachans of Culloden; afterwards, down to 1609, he is frequently described as "of" or "inTermit." Being unable to to write, his signature is always "with his hand at the pen led" by some other person, usually a "nottar," or notary. His appearances in records are numerous, some being of such a nature as to show that he was a man of weight and influence; while his frequent appearances in conjunction with his chief seem to indicate a close friendship between them, both being of about the same age... The appearances of Angus in records show considerable variety of locality and circumstance. Besides Inverness, Cawdor, and other places near home, he is found in Ross-shire and Perthshire, at inveraray, and more than once at Huntly and Edinburgh. Although unable to write his name, he seems to have been in request as a witness to deeds; on many occasions of this kind he was probably present as a companion to his chief... In 1600 Angus and his three sons are found giving a band of manrent to the Marquis of Huntly, who remits and discharges them "of all rancour, malice, envye, or uthir quhatsumevir doine aganis us be the said Angus and his forsaidis (sons, servants, &c.) and speciallie of al quhatsumevir deid doine be him or onny of his in the leit trubill fallin out betuis us and Lachlane Mackintoiss of Dunnachten, his cheiff."... Nine years afterwards, ... Angus joined in the great Band of Union among Clan Chattan, which was signed at his own place of Termit, and in this his name appears second, coming next afterthat of the tutor of Mackintosh. In 1609 he aquired the heritable right of the land of Alturlies ("Auldtirleys") and Breaknish, in Petty, with fishings, &c., sasine being given 31 Aug. on precept under the Great Seal dated 22 June; and from this time the family continued to flourish and spread. According to the Farr MS., Angus married 1st a dau of Mark Dunbar of Durris, by whom he had a son, Lachlan (1st of Kyllachy); and 2nd, Agnes, dau of Kenneth Mackenzie of Suddie, with issue John (of Moril) and Alexander (of Holm and Aldourie); but it appears that [3rd] Marjorie or Marion Falconer was his wife in 1609, when she is associated with him in the charter of Alturlies and Breaknish; and in 1625 a precept from Chancery of 15 July directs that sasine be given in those lands to William Mackintosh as heir to the deceased Mackintosh of Altryllies, his father, "procreated between and Marion Falconer his spouse." From these entries it may be assumed that the lands had been acquired in 1609 by means of Marion Falconer's money. His son, Alexander had feus of Aldourie and Holm, near Inverness, the latter of which, in 1621, he transferred to his cousin Alexander, son of William (younger brother of Angus), in whose line the lands of Holm have ever since remained. Another son, probably by the second wife, was Angus ..., who appears several times in the Mackintosh papers. and "Mr." Angus, "recor" or "minister" of Kingussie, and who had a son William, served heir to him 12 May 1663. Angus "Williamson" died in 1624, "a little before Whitsunday." ------ *... A friend being in prison at Edinburgh on some charge involving capital punishment, Angus entered Holyrood in disguise and managed to obtain a private audience of the king, James VI. Presenting a pistol at James' breast, he obtained from the terrified monarch a token by which he procured his friend's liberation. He then immediately embarked in a boat waiting for him at Leith, and next morning was at Kirkwall in Orkney. He was thus able to brove an alibi on being charged with threatening the king's life, but confessed privately to James, who good-jumouredly pardoned him and gave him the nickname of Angus with the Brazen Face...
