On his father's death, Robert became the 15th Baron and 17th Laird of Foulis.

Marriages

Robert Mor married firstly to Margaret Ogilvy of Cardell possibly as early as 1548 though one source suggests about 1551,^[2] and then to Katherine Ross in 1563. He and Margaret had 6 children and he and Katherine had 7.^[3]

Death

Robert Mor died at Foulis on 4 November 1588. In his generation he was one of the few lairds to die at home "in his bed almost certainly of natural causes" ^[3]
