• Notes

  Janet, who, in 1364, married Hugh Rose, 4th of Kilravock. The marriage contract is dated 2nd of January in that year, and is witnessed and sealed by the Bishops of Ross and Moray, and by William, Earl of Ross and Lord of Skye. To this Hugh Rose, 4th of Kilravock, who married Janet Chisholme, the author of the history of that family makes the following reference " I finde him mentioned in a contract matrimoniall betwixt him and Joneta de Chesholme, daughter of Sir Robert Chesholme, Constable of the Castle of Urquhart. He was also Chesholme of that Ilk, and in right of his mother, daughter of Sir Robert Lauder, succeeded to Quarrelwood, Kinsterie, Brightmannie, etc. This contract, because it is Kilravock's originall right of his lands in Strathnairn, and through the character, contractions, and bad ink, is scarce legible already, therefore I have here transcryved it." He then quotes it at length in the original Latin.* We give the following translation of the portion which, along with the preceding quotation from the manuscript history of the family of Kilravock, proves that the Sir Robert de Chisholme who owned so much land in the Highlands, and was Constable of Urquhart Castle, was also Sir Robert Chisholme of that Ilk, and head of all the Chisholms, north and south :
