ereupon the Athole men�察�from a safe distance�察�asked him what he was doing�拭 �I am going to make a road�察─�was the ready answer。 ;You shall make no road here。; ;Oh�察�I don't seek to do so�察�but I shall make it between your lord's head and his shoulders if I am hindered from pursuing my lawful business。;
On hearing this retort the Athole men retired�察�and on reaching their master told him what had occurred。 ;It was either the devil or the Tutor of Kintail�察─�his Lordship replied�察 �let him have a free path for ever。;
That he was severe in his position as Tutor is clear from the following proverb�察�still current in Ross´shire�此 �There are but two things worse than the Tutor of Kintailfrost in spring and mist in the dog days。; He married Margaret�察�daughter and co´heiress of Torquil Macleod�察 �Torquil Cononach; of the Lewis�察 �Coigeach�察�and Assynt�察�with whom Roderick obtained her father's mainland possessions�察�previously�察 �however�察�in 1605�察�granted by Torquil to Kenneth Mackenzie�察�X。 of Kintail�察�Sir Roderick's eldest brother。 He purchased Milton and Tarbat Ness in Easter Ross from the Munroes。 He had issue by his wife

I。 SIR GEORGE MACKENZIE�察�created first Earl of Cromarty�察�who made a distinguished figure in the history of his country during the reigns of Charles II。�察�James II。�察�and William III。 In 1661�察�at the early age of 31�察 �he was made a Lord of Session。 He subsequently held the offices of Lord´Justice´General and Clerk´Register of Scotland。 When Maitland got into favour Sir George shared the fall of his patron�察�Lord Middleton�察�but on the death of the Duke of Lauderdale he again got into favour�察�and�察�until the close of the reign of King James�察�he held the principal sway and power in Scottish affairs。 He was accessory�察 �if not the principal�察�in putting Spence and Carstairs to the torture of the boot and thumb´screw after the rebellion of Argyll。 In 1685 King James ennobled him by the title of Viscount Tarbat�察�Lord Macleod and Castlehaven。 During the reign of William III。 his influence became much diminished�察�but he afterwards got into power�察�and�察�on the accession of Queen Anne�察�he again became a Royal favourite�察�and was by her in 1703 created Earl of Cromarty�察�and made Secretary of State for Scotland。 He subsequently resigned this office and took up his old post of Justice´General�察�and recompensed Her Majesty's favours by strongly advocating with voice and pen the Union between England and Scotland�察�of which he was the original proposer。 In 1710�察 �after 60 years of the most active public service�察�he retired into private life。
That he possessed ability of a very high order is undoubted�察 �though as a politician he held very loose and changeable principles。 Sinibert says that ;as a judge�察�he was addicted to the old practice of considering the litigants rather than their causes;�察�and Carstairs goes the length of saying that ;he habitually falsified the minutes of Parliament�察�and recorded in its name decisions and orders never really made。; In the course of his long and checkered career he had been a member of so many Ministries and changed sides so often that it was not to be expected that he should escape charges of inconsistency。 ;Some do compare him to an eel�察─�said Lockhart of Carnwath�察 �and certainly the character suited him exactly。 He had sworn all the most contradictory oaths�察�and complied with all the opposite Governments since the year 1648�察�and was humble servant to them all till he got what he aimed at�察�though often he did not know what that was。; Almost every statesman of his time was as changeable as he was�察�but he possessed a capacity for business which distinguished few if any of his rivals。 He is admitted on all hands to have been in private life a gentleman of the most refined habits。 He wrote well on various subjects�察�his chief productions being Essays on the Union of the two Kingdoms of England and Scotland�察�on the Gowrie Conspiracy�察�and a ;Plain Explication; of the Prophecies of Daniel and St。 John。 He also wrote the MS。 history of his clan�察�so often quoted and referred to in this work�察 �and he undoubtedly invented Colin Fitzgerald。
His lordship married�察�first�察�Anne�察�daughter of Sir George Sinclair of Mey�察�with issue
1。 Roderick�察�who died young。
2。 John�察�who became his heir and successor。
3。 Kenneth�察�who in 1704 obtained a baronetcy with his grandfather's patent of creation�察�as Sir Kenneth Mackenzie�察�Baronet of Grandvale and Cromarty。 ��Sir Kenneth and his younger brother�察 �Sir James Mackenzie of Royston�察 �were created baronets in the same year�察�the patent of the latter being dated 8th of February�察�1704。 Sir Kenneth's patent ��which is to his heirs male for ever���察�was dated 29th of April�察�1704�察�and contained the original precedency of the patent of his grandfather�察�Sir John�察�who was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1628。 Sir Kenneth was a member of Parliament for the County of Cromartie in the reigns of King William and Queen Anne。 He warmly supported the treaty of Union�察�was one of the members nominated by the Parliament of Scotland�察�on 13th February�察�1707�察 �to sit in the United Parliament of Great Britain�察�and was chosen member for the County of Cromartie at the general election in 1710。 A new writ for that county was ordered On 22nd January�察 �1729�察�in consequence of his decease�察�and his eldest son Sir George�察�was elected in his place。Earls of Cromartie�А �He died in 1729�察�having married Anne Campbell�察�with issueSir George�察�the second Baronet�察�M。P。�察�who married Elizabeth�察�daughter of Captain John Reid�察�of Greenwich�察 �without issue。 In 1741�察�his affairs having become embarrassed�察�Sir George sold Cromarty to Sir William Urquhart of Meldrum。 He died in 1748�察�and was buried at Dingwall�察�his lady having survived him 59 years�察�and died at Inverness in 1807�察�aged 84。 Sir Kenneth's other four sons were Colin�察�James�察 �Campbell�察�and Gerard�察�who all died young or unmarried and Kenneth�察 �who�察�in 1748�察�succeeded his brother Sir George�察�as third Baronet�察�and died unmarried in 1763。 His daughter�察�Catherine�察 �married Dr Adam Murray�察�of Stirling。 He had several other daughters�察�married and unmarried。
4。 James�察�who on the 8th of February�察�1704�察�was created a Baronet by Queen Anne as Sir James Mackenzie of Royston�察�and in 1710 he was appointed a Lord of Session by the title of Lord Royston。 The Baronetcy being limited to heirs male�察�and Lord Royston having died in 1744 without surviving male issue�察�the title
