At the end of the 19th C. beginning of the 20th. C. the date of the
affray between Brackley and Inverey was widely debated and if I
remember correctly the consensus at that time was in favour of the year 1588/89.
The Inverey at that time was Lamont IN Inverey not Lamont OF Inverey
The difference being to be IN meant that they were tenants not owners
of the lands. The Lamonts at that time were notorious cattle thiefs.

Farquerson of Invercauld was an educated,wealthy man who owned
thousands of acres of land and who sent his sons to be educated on
the Continent, not the type to be out stealing a few cattle from a
neighbour.
