Michael, Rattray:, Rattray: The senior branch of the family had been established at Craighall since roughly 1554, and among the prominent figures for whom this service may have been commissioned was Dr Thomas Rattray of Craighall (1684-1743). Dr Rattray left two sons: James of Craighall, who succeeded him to the estate, and John, an eminent Edinburgh surgeon who was Bonnie Prince Charlie's personal doctor during the Jacobite uprising. A distant relative was James Rattray (circa 1705-1774), son of Sir Rullion Rattray of Runnygullion, and also a staunch Jacobite supporter. Notably recorded as one of the last men to flee the battlefield at Culloden, James was subsequently captured and sent to London to stand trial for high treason. He escaped execution only by claiming that he had been forced against his will to join the Jacobite army.
