Bertel Mowat, Laird of Balquholly

Bartholomew Mowat was probably the ancestor of the Hugoland Mowats. He is not mentioned in any contemporary sources and therefore probably died young. There is no doubt that his son, Andrew, was a close relative to the Balquholly family, and Bartholomew therefore probably was a younger son of Magnus of Balquholly. Bartholomew Mowat married Barbara Sinclair, who neither is mentioned in any contemporary sources. But Andrew Mowat's coat of arms shows that his mother was probably a Sinclair.
