Muniment - Hill 63 1731
Muniment Hill 63 was created on April 19th, 1731, by John Buchanan servant to writer Robert Colquhoun of Edinburgh. It has been transcribed/translated and is now available for CMW members to read on the website under Muniments.
This discharge was written from Lady Helen Arbuthnot the daughter of Robert 2nd Viscount of Arbuthnott and Lord Inverbirvie to Dr. Walter MacFarlane the 19th Baron of Arrochar, 2nd Baron of Ardess and 16th Chief of Clan MacFarlane. Lady Arbuthnot was the relict (widow) of Col. John Macfarlane, Fiar of Arrochar and Ardess and they were both parents of Walter. This discharge decreased the amount of an annuity payable from the lands of Arrochar McGilchrist to Lady Helen Arbuthnot. This annuity was part of her marriage agreement and payable to Lady Helen if she outlived her husband, John.
