George Munro, to whom Dingwall of Kildun, by deed dated at Inveran, the 20th of April, 1541, sold his half of the lands of Fernocosky in Braechat, parish of Creich; and on the 22nd of June, following James V, granted him a Crown charter of the same lands. In 1542, this same King granted him a Crown charter of a fourth of the lands of Easter Aird, in the Parish of Tarbat, called the Intown of Tarbat, which had been sold to him by his cousin, James Dunbar of Tarbat. In 1543, John Bisset, Chaplain of Newmore, in the College Church of St. Duthus, Tain, with the consent of Queen Mary, the Earl of Arran, and Robert Cairncorse, Bishop of Ross, granted to George Munro the kirklands of the Chaplainry, namely, the lands of Newmore, with the alehouse, Inchendown, Badachonacher, Rhicorrach, and Strathrory, "Which the tenants used to have for the annual rent of seven merks Scots, 40 shillings grassum, 30 bolls victual, 4 muttons, 4 dozen poutry, 4 marts, and 12 capons - the grantee paying accordingly, the victual to be half oatmeal, half bear, by Leith measure." In 1552, Queen Mary granted to him and Janet Fraser, his wife, a Crown charter of the lands of Easter Aird and others in Ross-shire, which had been sold to George in 1542 by James Dunbar, to whom the Queen, at the same time, granted the right of reversion. On the 4th of March, 1544, Mary granted Thomas Dingwall the dues of the half lands of Ferncosky since his redemption of the same from George Munro, and on the 5th of March, she granted him a letter of regress of the same lands, sold by him to George Munro in 1541. In 1559, Sir Robert Melville, Chaplain of Tarlogie, granted to George Munro, his third son, Donald, and his heirs-male, with remainder to his own heirs-male and to the eldest of his heirs-female, the lands of Tarlogie, for the yearly payment to the Chaplain of 29 merks, 4 shillings, 6 pence, with two dozen capons, and 2 shillings 10 pence, in augmentation of the rental. Queen Mary confirmed this grant in the same year.
In 1561, the same Queen appointed him Bailie and Chamberlain of her lands and lordships of Ross and Ardmenach, the appointment to continue during her pleasure; and in 1567, she exempted him for life, on account of his age, from all service as a soldier, from sitting on assizes, and from appearing as a witness in any court. His appointment was renewed in 1568 by James VI to continue during the pleasure of the King and his Regent.
George Munro married Janet, daughter of James Fraser I of Phopachy, whose uncle, John Fraser, was Bishop of Ross from 1485, until his death on the 5th of February, 1507. ; Her brothers, the Rev. Paul Fraser and the Rev. Almond Fraser, were settled in Rosskeen and Alness respectively, while her brother, John Fraser, progenitor of Dunballoch, was Chamberlain, alter oculus, for uncle, the Bishop at Nigg; another brother, Robert, being Chamberlain to the Abbot of Fearn. By her, George had issue:

5. Margaret, who married Hugh Fraser II of Guisachan and Culbokie, with issue: William, Alexander, Hugh & Janet who married Thomas Chisholm, without issue.

He died at Milntown Castle on the 1st of November 1576, and was buried in Kilmuir-Easter Churchyard, when he was succeeded by his eldest son, Andrew Munro V of Dochcarty.
