In Pitcairn's Criminal Trials (Vol. I, part I, p. 386) we find James Galbraith of Culcreuch, Walter his brother; James Galbraith in Ballocharne, James Galbraith, his servant; Humphrey, son of James Galbraith in Balgair; Humphrey Galbraith in the Glenne; Humphrey Galbraith in Edinbellie, and thirty-seven others finding caution to stand their trial at Dumbarton for oppression done to John Lyle in Wester Kilfasset, by coming to his house in July, 1554, and invading him for his slaughter. Here we have the Laird of Culcreuch in a clan raid, surrounded by his brother and the Galbraiths in Ballocharne, Balgair, Glenne (or Glins) and Edinbellie, all places in the immediate vicinity of Culcreuch, and thus showing that the tacksmen of Ballocharne, Balgair, Glenne and Edinbellie were all closely related to the head of the clan. Taking into consideration the foregoing, it is suggested as a probability that John Galbraith in Balgair, James Galbraith in Ballocharne, and Humphrey Galbraith in Glenne were brothers, and sons of one of the Humphrey Galbraiths appearing in the Remission of 1489. In July, 1554, the house of Humphrey Galbraith at Easter Glenne was attacked by a party of Cunninghams. On 10th August, Humphrey Galbraith in Edinbellie, James Galbraith in Ballocharne, and several others of the Galbraith clan, by way of reprisal, made a counterattack on the Cunninghams, in which affray Cuthbert Cunningham lost his thumb.
