John Roy purchased or rented the tithes of his lands; which appear to have led him into no end of disputes。  The Rev。 Alexander Mackenzie  was appointed minister at Gairlochthe first after the Reformationand  in 1583 he obtained a decree from the Lords of the Privy Council and   Session ordaining the teind revenue to be paid to him。  At the Reformation  Sir John Broik was rector of the parish ; after which  it was vacant until; in  1583; James VI。 presented this Alexander Mackenzie to 〃the parsonage  and vicarage of Garloch vacand in our Souerane Lordis handis  contenuallie sen the reformatioun of the religioun within this realme by  the decease of Sir John Broik。〃 'Reg。 Sec。 Sig。; vol xlix; fol。 62。'  In 1584 the Rev。 Alexander Mackenzie let the teinds to John Roy for three lives  and nineteen years more; for an annual payment of ?2 Scots。 In 1588 the Crown granted a similar tack for a like payment。  In 1612 the Rev。  Farquhar MacGillechriost Macrae raised an action against John Roy and  his eldest surviving son Alexander for payment of the teind。  A certain  Robert Boyd became cautioner for the teind of 1610; but the action went  on for several years; and was apparently won by the Rev。 Farquhar  Macrae; who; in 1616; lets the teind of Gairloch for nineteen years to  Alexander Mackenzie; Fiar of Gairloch; for ?0 Scots yearly。  Alexander  thereupon surrenders the tithes of the lands of Letterewe; Inverewe;  Drumchorc; and others to Colin Lord Mackenzie of Kintail; who on his  part; as patron of the parish; binds himself not to sanction the set of these  tithes to any other than the said Alexander and his heirs。 'Papers in the Gairloch Charter Chest。'
