Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I ahu mai tenei manga i a James Burnet o Lagavin, te tuatoru o nga tama a James Burnett o Craigmyle me tana wahine a Elizabeth Burnett. I te tau 1642 ka marenatia a James ki a Isobel Forbes i mate i muri tata mai, ka marenatia ano a James ki a Elizabeth Irvine, tamahine a Robert Irvine o Monboddo me Elizabeth Douglas o Glenbervie. Tata ki te 1671, i hokona e James a Monboddo mai i ona taina-i-te-ture. Hei taapiri ki a Monboddo, i noho hei nohoanga o tenei peka, i riro i a James a Kair, Whitefield, Sillyflat, Hallgreen, Johnshaven me Ballandro i Kincardineshire me Aberdeenshire. Ko tana mokopuna, ko James Burnett, te rangatira tuatoru o Monboddo i tautoko i te kaupapa o Stuart, a ka hopukina i te
Te Pakanga o Falkirk Muir. I mauheretia ia mō tētahi wā, engari i whakaorangia ia mā te awe o ngā hoa whai mana. Engari na nga mea i whai ake i hokona atu e ia nga mea katoa engari ko Monboddo me Lagavin, i hokona e ia ki tana tama matamua, a James Burnett, Ariki Monboddo, te tuawha o nga rangatira i eke ki te kairangahau me te kaiwhakawa rongonui.
