88 CLAN FERGUSSON
married Janet Watson, and died in 1891, leaving two sons,
Samuel Mure and Hugh Archibald, and three daughters,
Charlotte, married to David Davidson (of the family of Muir-
house), Margaret Rose, and Elizabeth Amy.
The eldest son, Samuel Mure Fergusson, married a daughter
of Francis Offley Cramp of Beckenham, and has issue two
sons — 1. Neil Mure ; 2. Nigel Hugh.
In connection with the Dunfallandy and Baledinund
pedigrees, it is interesting to note that Mr. Balneaves of
Edradour, great-great-grandfather to Mrs. Fergusson of
Middlehaugh, had, with other issue, two daughters, one of
whom married Mr. Fergusson of Baledinund, their daughter
again marrying Mr. Fergusson of Ballyoukan. The other
married Mr. Butter of Pitlochry, and had with other issue
a daughter, Elizabeth, who married James Fergusson of
Dunfallandy. Their daughter Catherine married Duncan
M'Diarmid, and her daughter Elizabeth married James Fer-
gusson of Middlehaugh.
There is an old chapel at Dalshian, mentioned by Pennant
in 1772, on the summit of a little hill in an area of a hundred
and sixty feet diameter, called St. Catherine's chapel, now a
ruin. On the accessible side of the hill is a ditch of great
depth. This place seems to have been a British (or Pictish)
fort, and in after times the founder of this chapel might prefer
the situation on account of the security it might afford to
the devotees in a barbarous age. (Logierait Parish Maga-
zine.) Its original Gaelic name was ' the fort of the night
watchers.' This chapel was the burying-place of the Middle-
haugh family, and was retained, with about three acres of
wooded knoll, when the estate was sold.
