Alexander Mackenzie
According to Alexander Mackenzie's books The History of the Mackenzies (1894) and The History of the Munros of Fowlis (1898), the Mackenzie's were supported by the Clan Mackintosh who together garrisoned Fortrose Cathedral and laid siege to the castle. Mackenzie claims that an attempted sortie by the Munros for fish at a nearby loch was foiled and as a result the Mackenzies took control of the castle. Although it is recorded by Sir Robert Gordon's earlier account to have been handed over by an "Act of Pacification". This affair was probably part of wider political intrigue and the rival claims of the King's and Queen's parties which ended with the 'pacification' of Perth in 1573.
