Margaret... on the death of her two brothers, became the heiress to her
father''s estates in Coigeach and Assynt as well as the Island of Lewis.
She married the powerful Sir Roderick MacKenzie, Tutor of Kintail, (the
marriage contract is dated 6th May 1605) [H. H. MacKenzie (1941) THE
MACKENZIES OF BALLONE, p. 16.] who, along with his younger half
brother, Alexander MacKenzie I of Coul, reduced the island of Lewis to
MacKenzie dominion. Sir Roderick purchased Tarbat Ness and Milton from
the Munroes and from this circumstance he and his descendants were
known as MacKenzies of Tarbat. These descendants became Earls of
Cromarty.

Morrison has Margaret as the daughter of Torquil Cononach, rather than
the daughter of Torquil Oighre, as in other sources? Probably correct.]
Margaret... married Roderick MacKenzie, tutor of Kintail, knighted in
1609. Through her the MacKenzies claim their descent from Leod.
