the shyres of Angus and Mearns, and since on several accompts the said
burrial-place of the Wemyss cannot admit of a tomb to be built for hir as
there are none for any of hir ancestors," therefore the Earl, as a small token
of his great affection and honour to her pious memory and unparalleled vir-
tues, though very unproportionable to either, determined to pay to the church
of Easter Wemyss the sum of a hundred merks Scots yearly, for founding a
salary to a catechist for catechising and instructing the colliers and salters of
the lordship of Wemyss in the method of catechising in their families, to be
paid in yearly to the kirk-session of the Wemyss under the direction of the
Earl of Wemyss and minister of the parish. The payment was to be made
yearly on the 1st day of January, that being the birth-day of that illustrious
Countess. The bond is dated 1705, and recorded in the Books of Council and
Session on the 16th of April 1707. As Lord Cromartie's death took place in
the shire of Cromartie, north of the water of Esk, he was buried at Dingwall
with his forefathers.
