Families covered: Innes of Borlum, Innes of Borrowstoun, Innes of Isauld, Innes of Oust, Innes of Sandside, Innes of Skaill, Innes of Thursater
| Henderson reports that "The editor of Forbes' account of the family, however, had been unable to discover any evidence of their having held lands in Caithness previous to 1507, at which date Alexander, son and hier of Alexander Innes of Innes, got a charter of Dunbeath, Reay, and Sandside." It is noted that Alexander Innes, 14th of that ilk and son of Alexander the 13th, was born in 1507. It seems likely that the following Walter was closely connected to that Alexander. | |||||||||||||||
