“From the book, "Major Alpin's Ancestors": John Grant, II of Freuchie, "Am Bard Ruadh" It was under the Bard that the Grants first established themselves in Urquhart and Glenmoriston. The original barony of Urquhart, dating from the early part of the 14th century, and including Glenmoriston, was erected into a Lordship 100 years later, and had been held by the Lords of the Isles from 1394 to 1476. In Glenmoriston the Macdonalds for years opposed the Grants, and kept the lands waste. In 1482 the Bard became tenant of the Lordship, and in 1509, James IV granted him a charter of a new Barony of Urquhart; to his second son John, "Iain Og", (by Margaret, daughter of Sir James Ogilvie of Deskford) a charter of a Barony of Corrimony (Grants of Corrimony); and to his natural son (by a daughter of Stuart of Kincardine) John, "Iain Mor", a charter of a Barony of Glenmoriston. The Bard's eldest son, James, succeeded him as III of Freuchie and from him are descended the Grants of Grant, now Earls of Seafield.
