Alexander Urquhart of Cromarty, and Sheriff thereof, married Beatrix Innes, daughter of Innes of Auchintoul, and they had a younger son, John Urquhart, who became proprietor of Craigfintray (now known as Craigston).
The last-named and his mother are mentioned in a Latin inscription on a monument still standing on its original site, which was included in the area of the church of King-Edward before its eastern portion was removed.
When a grave was being dug in the eastern portion of the old church there was found, at the depth of several feet, a flat stone bearing the Urquhart arms and the still
older inscription:
HEIR LYIS ELIZABETH VRQVHART,
ED 4 of IVLI, 1580.
