  • Notes 
    • Alexander Brodie, who became the founder of the LETHEN Family, having purchased the barony of Lethen, in 1622, from Sir John Grant ;

      with the Abbey lands of Kinloss, from Thomas, Lord Bruce of Kinloss, also the lands of Pitgavenie, in 1630, from Alexander Hay of Kinudie, and also during the rule of the English in the North, the Laird of Lethen in 1651 and 1652 sold the stones of Kinloss Abbey to be employed in building the citadel of Inverness.'

      Subsequent dilapidations for the purpose of building dykes and cottages have left the ruins a sad spectacle of a vener- able ecclesiastical building, apparently used as a farm-steading for keeping poultry and swine !
