• Notes

  According to Bulloch, John Cuthbert is named in a charter of resignation from his father, believed to be dated 1 AUG 1625, however Bulloch is quite ambiguous and confusing on the which charter bears which date. John is mentioned in a list of receipts dated 4 FEB 1641 (GD44/40/1) in which he is identified as "John Cuthbert of Castlehill". Also listed in the same document are: John Cuthbert of Little Drakies, William Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness, David Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness, and Alexander Cuthbert, burgess of Inverness. In 1661 John Cuthbert of Castlehill is mentioned in a Letter of Obligation by William Bruce, Skipper in South Ronaldsay (SC11/5/1661/9). In 1666 John is mentioned in a letter of discharge (GD45/16/1237) by George, Earl of Panmure to John Cuthbert of Castlehill for the lands of Overdrakies, Standingstanes (beside Drakies) and Miekledrakies ("Big" Drakies) and other lands in the parish of Inverness. The same discharge appears to be given again on 18 JUL 1672 (GD45/16/1247). John is mentioned posthumously on 20 JUN 1674 in an interesting letter of Notorial Protest (GD23/4/32) by Mr. James Grant, advocate for George Cuthbert of Castlehill, "of dissociation of said George Cuthbert from an action before the Lords of Council and Session between the burgh of Invernes [Inverness] and John Forbes of Cullodne [Culloden], Mr. William Robertsone [Robertson] of Inches [Inshes] and deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill, father of said George." It's not known what action John took that his son George felt the need to publicly dissociate himself from it, but it would be interesting to find out.
