Hector Munro became his father’s heir after his elder brother Robert Munro, 16th Baron died in 1589 just eight months after their father, the 15th Baron.〔 In 1590 Hector Munro was served heir male of entail to his father in certain lands.〔 This included the ten “Davochs” of Easter Fowlis (Foulis) as well as Wester Fowlis.〔 He was also served heir to his father and brother for the “barony” of Fowlis at Inverness on the 7th of October 1590.〔 He was also granted several other lands and salmon fishings in the Earldoms of Ross and Sutherland as well as in the Sherrifdom of Inverness.〔 Hector being originally a younger son of his father naturally studied for the church.〔 His first preferment was the Chaplainry of Newmore which he was presented to by Mary, Queen of Scots in 1560.〔 Hector’s father Robert Mor Munro was a great supporter of Queen Mary.〔 In 1583 Hector Munro was appointed to the Chaplainry of Obsdale as is confirmed by a grant from James VI of Scotland.〔 In the same year king James VI also granted to Hector Munro the Deanery of Ross, even though it was opposed by Alexander Urquhart, the former dean who had been deposed.〔 However upon the death of his older brother, Robert Munro, 16th Baron, Hector Munro resigned all of his ecclesiastical offices. Hector Munro then succeeded as chief of the Clan Munro.〔 In 1589 Hector Munro was served heir to his father of the lands of Inveran, with mill and salmon fishings, Linsetroy, Linsetmore, Altesbeg, Altesmor and Achness, with the salmon fishings.
