== Biography ==Sir Walter Ogilvy of Auchterhouse, was born about 1347, and is generally regarded as the progenitor of the branches of Airlie, Innerquharity, Findlater, and Inchmartin.
He appears in a charter, about 1368, by Thomas Sybald of Moneythin to Andrew Petcary of the lands of Monethin where he is designed 'Walter of Ogylwy miles'.
He was the hereditary Sheriff of Angus and held the position prior to 1380.[https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun01pauluoft#page/118/mode/2up The Scots Peerage]; Balfour Paul; Vol 1, page 108
On 24 October 1385 he had a grant from King Robert II. of an annual rent out of the lands of Kyngaltny.
Douglas and Crawfurd state that he obtained the office by his marriage with Isabel Ramsay, daughter and heiress of Sir Malcolm Ramsay, Lord of Auchterhouse, but give no authority for their statement, and some doubt is cast upon it by a confirmation by King James III., 18 February 1483, of a charter by the late Alexander of Ogilvy, Sheriff of Forfar, of the lands of Balkery to his sister Matilda of Ramsay, relict of William of Fenton: the date of the original charter is therein stated to be at Auchterhouse, 21 August 1488, which is impossible, and is most probably a transcriptional error for 1388, one of the witnesses being Sir David Lindesay of Glenesk, who was created Earl of Crawford in 1398 and who was a close personal friend of Ogilvy.
Sir Walter Ogilvy's mother's name is unknown. Sir Walter of Lichtoun, who was killed along with him, at the [[:Category:Battle of Glascune|Battle of Glascune]] is called his uterine brother. Balfour Paul notes: "He was killed at the battle of Glenbrierachan or Glasklune in 1392 (but there is doubt in regards to the date; it was likely 1395), repelling an inroad of Highlandmen, and is celebrated by the chronicler Wyntoun as "stout and manful, bauld and wycht", and as "Godlike, wis, and wertuous".
Tytler records: "Ogilvy, his brother, and many of his kindred, were overpowered and slain. Lindsay, armed at all points, made great slaughter among the naked Catterans; but, as he pinned one of them to the earth with his lance, the dying mountaineer writhed upwards and, collecting his force, fetched a blow with his broad-sword which cut through the knight's stirrup-leather and steel-boot and nearly severed his leg. The Highlander expired, and Lindsay was with difficulty borne out of the field by his followers".
His wife is not mentioned but he had children:
* Sir Alexander Ogilvy of Auchterhouse, Sheriff of Angus. He was present at the battle of Harlaw, received many charters from King Robert III. between 1398 and 1404, and as a reward for his services received from that king an annual rent out of the customs of Dundee. He obtained a safe-conduct to go to England, to treat for the liberation of King James I. of Scotland, 16 April 1413. This was extended until August 1413, and repeated in 1415. He died after 14 July 1421, when he sat as one of the Auditors of the royal revenues, and before 2 October 1423, when his son Patrick is designed Sheriff of Angus.
* Walter Ogilvy, ancestor of the Airlie family. Airlie, or Erroly, prior to 1400, was a divided barony with parts held b the family of [[:Category:Clan Straiton|Straiton of Lauriston]]. Straiton of Lauriston appear to have sold their portion to Ogilvy around the time of the Battle of Glascune and the lands held by the Ogilvys since.
* John of Ogilvy, ancestor of the family of Ogilvy of Innerquharity. He received from his brother Sir Walter Ogilvy in 1420 a grant of the lands of Innerquharity. It has been a matter of controversy whether he or his brother Walter was the elder. His descendant Sir John Ogilvy of Innerquharity narrates, in a 'contract of maintenance' between him and James, Lord Ogilvy, in 1591, that he gives his manrent and service (reserving his duty to the Earl of Angus, from whom he held his lands) to Lord Ogilvy and his house "of the quhilk (deceased) he is laitlie decended" and in 1582 Sir John Ogilvy of Innerquharity styles James Lord Ogilvy his "guid lord and chief".
