As the son of the deceased chief was of tender age, and unable to govern the clan, with common consent they made choice of Hector Mackintosh, a bastard brother of the late chief, to act as captain till his nephew should arrive at manhood. In the meantime, the earl of Moray, who was uncle to young Mackintosh, the former chief having been married to the earl''s sister, took away his nephew and placed him under the care of his friends for the benefit of his education, and to bring him up virtuously. Hector Mackintosh was greatly incensed at the removal of the child, and used every effort to get possession of him; but meeting with a refusal he became outrageous, and laid so many plans for accomplishing his object, that his intentions became suspected, as it was thought he could not wish so ardently for the custody of the child without some bad design. Baffled in every attempt, Hector, assisted by his brother William, collected a body of their followers and invaded the earl of Moray''s lands. They overthrew the fort of Dykes and besieged the castle of Tarnoway, the country surrounding which they plundered, It vms this excellent Bishop who built, at his own expense, the beautiful bridge of wvMi arrht-s on the Dee, near Aberdeen. The Episcopal arms cut on some of the stones re almost as entire as when chiselled by the hands of the sculptor.
