At Tarrioch and Cronberry the lands were owned by John Reid who received a charter under the Great Seal in 1607. This describes him as John Reid, then in Rogerton, heir of John Reid of Rogerton. The lands mentioned in the charter were the two Bannatyneyards, the two Tarriochs, Boghead, and Cronberry ('Crondarrie') formerly owned by Hector Bannatyne of Kames.
