Genealogy of the families of Douglas of Mulderg and Robertson of Kindeace

THE DOUGLASSES OF MULDERG.
byterians. Middleton thought that all the fines would have
come into his own hands, as well as the estate of the Marquis of
Argyle ; but of all this he was disappointed, as the money came
to other hands. But the fines were uplifted and much more by
military force" (see Wodrow's -History, vol. I., page 271).
From the title deeds of the property of Mulderg in the
possession of the present proprietor, it appears that there was a
"Hector Douglas, younger," in 1647 ; also that a "Hector
Douglas died in 1675." The Douglas family ceased as pro-
prietors of Mulderg in 1718. Some of the Douglasses also
possessed the estate of Rainy, which adjoins that of Mulderg
to the north and north-east. Both these properties were
possessed by the Maccullochs at a later date.
The Douglasses of Mulderg and of Kiltearn were the same
family, and their burying-grounds in both parishes can be pointed
out.
Below is a copy of the initials in the burying-ground of the
Douglasses in the aisle adjoining the Abbey of Fearn at the
north-east.
