Biography

Donald Bayne was born about 1640, son of Duncan Bain (~1620–<1650) and Katherine Beatrice Mackenzie (~1620– ).

Sir Donald Bayne of Tulloch; and their descendants, as representatives of that ancient family, bear its cognisance on the centre of their shield, a wolf's head proper. He was a Bailie and afterwards Provost of Dingwall, exercised considerable local and political influence, and greatly aided Lord Macleod, son of George Earl of Cromarty, in his candidature for the county of Ross, as may be seen from the Cromarty Papers

Donald married Annabella MacKenzie (born about 1650; daughter of John (Mackenzie) Mackenzie IInd of Applecross and Unknown (Fraser) Fraser Lady Applecross).

Donald (71) married Marie Dingwall (26) (born about 1685) in May, 1712. Their daughter was Annabella Bayne ( –1751). Donald Bane, 5th Laird of Tulloch succeeded his grandfather in 1670. He was prominent in Scottish national affairs. He was knighted in 1680 and soon afterwards started spelling his surname as Bayne. He was a member of the Scottish Parliament in 1681 and 1685. In 1685 he gave funds to three bursars each at the University of St Andrews and the University of Edinburgh. He was Provost of Dingwall in 1709. He was the only Bayne Laird of Tulloch to be knighted. Most of his children predeceased him.
