Munro of Killichoan

The Munros of Killichoan were a minor noble Scottish family and a cadet branch of the ancient Clan Munro, a Scottish clan of the Scottish Highlands. They were seated at Killichoan House which was in the parish of Kiltearn near to the boundary with the parish of Dingwall in Easter Ross. Killichoan House was held by this Munro family for five generations, one of whom was a missionary to the Mohawks.

David Munro, 1st of Killichoan was the second son of Farquhar Munro, 3rd of Teanoird, who in turn was a grandson of Farquahar Munro, 1st of Teanoird, who in turn was the fifth son of Alexander Munro 1st of Kiltearn, who in turn was the fourth son of Hugh Munro, 1st of Coul, who in turn was the third son of George Munro, 10th Baron of Foulis, chief of the Clan Munro, (d.1452).

In 1682, David Munro, 1st of Killichoan and his brother Donald were found guilty by the Presbytery of Dingwall for having led cattle into a church, and the Presbytery told them that after a sermon, they were to, in front of the congregation, "humbly acknowledge and confess their fault for offering to profane such a place" and that they would be rebuked.
