"Patrick Rattray's youngest brother, Sylvester Rattray then took up the struggle against the Earl of Athol, and built Nether Kynballoch, later to be called Craighall (as it is called today). Craighall was built high up on the cliff edge above the River Ericht, with a single entrance, which was only accessible by going along the narrow cliff edge, thus making its defence possible, by a few. In this he was enormously assisted by Marjorie his wife, who was the widow of Kinninmonth of that ilk and the daughter of Elizabeth Stewart in turn daughter of the first Earl Athol and wife of the 2nd. Lord Gray, and therefore Marjorie was a granddaughter of the first Earl of Athol. This was a very important factor in the survival of the Rattrays of Rattray and it was because of Marjorie's descent from the Royal House of Stewart. The first Earl was the uterine brother of the King. She was a Plantagenet." [The Clan Rattray Society Journal, Number 2, Dec 1994].
