  Robertson reports that this Ninian married to "Isabella (whom Douglas calls Elizabeth) daughter of Sir James Stewart of Bute". However, TSP (vol 2, 'Bute', p297) shows Isobel, who m. 07.1675 Ninian Bannatyne of Kames and had issue Hector, as dau of Sir Dugald. On the previous page, TSP shows Isobel's aunt Elizabeth as "said to have been married to Ninian Bannatyne of Kames". We speculate that Ninian married first the aunt and then the niece as follows.
