father was liferenter of Cluny Cottage, nearly opposite Invercauld on the
south bank of the river Dee, of which he is sometimes, though erroneously,
styled proprietor. She died in Ballater, where her father had a house ;

" Assignation by the said James Michie as Executor to the said
John Michie his Brother of the said Bill and Confirmed Testament, To

From the above it appears that Alexander Stewart of Auchoilzie
died in the year 1754, leaving an onlj' child, Margaret, the inheretrix of
a much dilapidated estate.
This is followed by : —
" Decreet on the passive Titles, dated 29th June 1757, obtained at
