• Notes

  George Cuthbert is named in a charter from Queen Mary in the year 1548 for the lands of Auld Castle Hill "granted to George Cuthbert, nephew and heir apparent of John Cuthbert of Auld Castle Hill and to his heirs male." According to the genealogy created by the Abbé Alexander Cuthbert as quoted by Bulloch, George is accounted as a great-grandson of William Cuthbert, 3rd of Castlehill. George must have succeeded his uncle in the lands and title of Castlehill sometime between 1548 when the preceding charter was written and 1556 when George began his term as provost. "George Cuthbert of Auld Castlehill" served as Provost of Inverness from 1556-1559. George is the subject of a decreet dated JUN 1556 (GD96/64) where he is designated as "George Cutbert of Auld Castellhill, sheriff depute of Inverness." The Sheriff-principal of Inverness at the time was the Earl of Huntly. According to the Fasti Ecclesius, "George Cuthbert" and Jasper Waus, Provost of Inverness, were both ordered on 18 JAN 1560 to pay the local minister's fee. George was the recipient of a charter dated 28 FEB 1560 (GD23/3/1) by the Dominican Friars of Inverness to "George Cuthbert of Old Castle" for various fishing rights within the burgh of Inverness. Although the notation does not specify that it was George Cuthbert "of Castlehill", he is to be presumed as the patronage of the minister's stipend was the responsibility of the senior-most baron(s) in the parish.
