[2] For his part in the murder of Bannerman, Magnus was declared rebel and forfeited his lands. Having returned to the King's Peace he recovered his lands by payment at Edinburgh on 15 November 1521 for the five years and one term of non-entry. The costs of the fermes (duty) were £27, 10s for the half lands of Dryne and Contalwyde lying in the county of Ross with £5 for the relief of these.
