About John Oig Grant, 3rd of Corrimony
In 1593, John Grant of Freuchie proposed to reduce a half of the lands of Pitcherell his father John Grant II of Corrimony conveyed on 14th May, 1571 . As a resetter of the Macgregors, he is mentioned in a discharge granted by the Privy Council, to he, John Grant of Freuchie, on 25th February, 16 15, for 10,000 merks, being the fines for himself and clan. In 1624, he sold Pitcherell to John Grant of Glenmorriston, but having afterwards redeemed it. he re-sold it to John (Oig) Grant III of Corrimony, his half- brother, in 1628.

The lands of Sheuglie and Lochletter were, however, retained by John of Freuchie, and thereafter ceased to form part of the estate of Corrimony, which thus came to be held of the Laird of Grant, instead of the Crown.
