Chan. Mar 24, 1809 1815 Francis, Earl of Moray seized superiority from Redcastle Ref 1765 Inverness 1817 Patrick Grant of Redcastle, seized in bar of Strathnairn, Letterchullin, Flichity, Daviot, Failzie, Invermazeran Patrick Grant of Redcastle as heir to his father siezed in bar of Strathnairn, Letterchullin, Flichity, Daviot, Failzie, Invermazeran on Pr chan I suppose these Grants somehow obtained the feu rights to these places, but I don't know how.
