James Grant of Freuchie

[2] Grant signed the Scottish Covenant and bought blue ribbons for himself and his followers in Aberdeen in 1639 to show his support.

His wife, Mary Stewart, Lady Grant, was supplied with flour and aqua vitae by John Paterson and William Farquhar, burgesses of Forres.

[4] After the Restoration of Charles II, the Laird of Freuchie was obliged to send workmen with tools and wheelbarrows to help demolish the fortified citadel or sconce of Inverness.

He sought advice from Sir Peter Wedderburn (1616–1679, later Lord Gosford), and went to the Privy Council in October to obtain a commission for a witch trial.

[7] On 3 October 1661, a commission for trying Issobell Munro and Mary Burges, two women described as "vagabonds", for witchcraft in "Strathspey and Murrayland" was issued.

[9] Lady Grant holds an apple pomander and wears bracelets of beads of coral, amber, or red cornelian.

[11] James Grant broke off an engagement with Lady Jane Fleming, a daughter of the Earl of Wigtown.
