Notes

Esq. of Cadboll, in the county of Cromarty, and of Invergordon Castle, in Ross-shire, b. in January, 1764, m. in 1784, Elizabeth, daughter of Alexander Macleod, esq. of Harris, and has had issueŠ Mr. Macleod succeeded his father in 1770. He was, formerly, representative in parliament for Cromarty, and was constituted lord-lieutenant for that shire when the office was first instituted in Scotland, anno 1794. He resigned in 1833. He is a deputy-lieutenant for Ross-shire.

!ARMS: Quarterly; first, or, a mountain inflamed ppr. Second, gu. the three legs of Man ppr. conjoined in the centre, at the upper end of the thigh, flexed in triangle, and the spurs gold. Third, or, a galley ppr. Fourth, az. a castle triple towered and embattled arg. masoned sa. windows and port gu.

!CREST: The sun in splendour, and below the arms a mural crown.

!MOTTO: Above the crest, Loisgim agus soilleirghim. Below the mural crown, Quocunque jeceris stabit. [Loisgim agus Soilleirghim is, of course, Gaelic. "Loisgim" is probably mispelled, and should be "loisginn." (The doubled "nn" could have been misread by someone as an "m".) If that is the case, then we have the first person singular subjunctive mood of "loisg", which would mean "I would burn." Agus is the conjuction "and". "Soilleirighim" probably suffers from the same mispelling as "Loisgim"; it should probably be "soilleireaghinn", making it the first person singular subjunctive of "soilleireachadh", and would therefore mean "I would explain" or "I would make clear".] [The Latin is also mispelled: "quocunque" should be "quocumque" meaning "whithersoever". "Jeceris" is also a mispelling of the Conative Present tense of "iaceo", "to lie down" or "to rest" (not "iacio", "to throw"). It should be "iaceris". "Stabit" is the third person singular future of "stabilo", "to establish, to make firm." This would mean "Wherever it should rest, there it shall remain."]

!ESTATES: Cadboll and Invergordon, in Ross and Cromarty, and Muldearg, in the former shire.

!SEATS: Invergordon Castle, Ross-shire; Cadboll, Cromartyshire.
