(Witness) AnecdoteThe Marnie family of Deuchar are described in The Baronage of Angus and Mearns by David Macgregor Peter published in 1856, as follows:

MARNIE of DEUCHAR.

Miss MARNIE of Deuchar, Angus, purchased the estate at a public sale, after her father's demise. Her father, James Mamie, Esq., sometime Merchant, and Provost of Arbroath, wedded a daughter of the late Provost John Ouchterlony, of Arbroath, by whom he left three surviving daughters and co-heiresses. Another daughter married Mr. Sandeman, Merchant in Dundee, and pre-deceased her father, leaving issue. Mr. Marnie purchased the estate from the trustees of George Deuchar, A.D. 1815. One of Miss Mamie's sisters is wedded to William Forrest of Easter Ogil and Jemima, the youngest, is wedded, to the Rev. Mr. Gardner, one of the Ministers of Brechin. The family of Marnie seems to have come from the county of Cornwall, England, to Scotland, in old days.

ARMS - Argent, a lion rampant, guardant, azure, armed, holding in the dexter paw a round buckle, gules.
CREST - On a chapeau, sable, turned-up, ermine, a demi-lion, gules, armed, azure, holding in the dexter paw a round buckle, or.
MOTTO - Verus (True.)
SEAT - Deuchar House, a comparatively modern mansion, erected by George Deuchar, the penultimate laird of that name, about the end of the last century. About 1820, Mr. Marnie added two small wings. It is situated on the brow of a ridge, in front of the wood-crowned hill of Deuchar - on perhaps the most elevated site of any seat in Argus - and commands a most extensive view of the How of Angus. It stands about nine miles north-east of Forfar.4
