• Notes

  There is absolutely no evidence for the existence of the James Cuthbert. He is a theoretical construct in an attempt to reconcile the known date of the earliest generations of the Cuthberts of Drakies. It would appear that there were three persons all alive in the lat 16th century and all designated as "of Drakies", namely George Cuthbert of Drakies whose daughter Marie married John Cuthbert, 9th of Castlehill, Alexander Cuthbert of Drakies who married Christian Dunbar and had a daughter Isobel who married John Mackenzie, 1st of Ord, and James Cuthbert of Drakies, Provost of Inverness. The simplest reconcilation of these three men is to suggest that they were brothers and that the eldest two had only daughters and the estate of Drakies passed to the third son, James. However, such an arrangment should be considered only theoretical and is definitely not verified.
