     Margaret Sinclair was christened on 13 Jul 1768 in Watten, CAI, SCT; OPR reads: July 13th Wiliam Sinclair in North Dun and Kathrin McKinlay his spouse had a daughter baptised named Margaret before witnesses George Gow and John Ryrie both in North Dun (assumed to be correct identification of Margaret, mother of Isabella Sinclair McAdie - only other Margaret chr Watten in OPR was 1746, and naming pattern of Margaret's children supports parents named William and Katherine Sinclair).4,3 She and Robert MacAdie were estimated to have married bef. 1796 ?CAI, SCT, did they move to Wick or are the last 3 children another family? No marriage obvious on indices at New Register House 1770-1819, nor in Watten OPR (from ? to 1797).5,6
     Margaret Sinclair was assumed to have died bef. 1841 ?CAI, SCT, as not found in 1841 census. Shown as dec. in 1873 when dtr Isabella died, which isn't surprising as she would be 105 by then.2
