Tulloch; and their descendants, as representatives of that ancient

head proper. He was a Bailie and afterwards Provost of Dingwall,
exercised considerable local and political influence, and greatly aided
Lord Macleod, son of George Earl of Cromarty, in his candidature

Mackenzie, whilst looking out of a window of her own house, was
