The Grahams, marquises of Montrose, took their title from Old Montrose in this parish, not the town of Montrose.
The lands of Dysart were formerly a detached portion of the parish of Brechin ANS, later of Maryton, but now form part of Lunan ANS.
As a warning not to believe anything on the web, no matter how prestigious the site hosting the information, the following used to be at "Paradox of Medieval Scotland 1093-1286" (at King's College, London):
[This suggested identification of 'Falerikkum' with Friockheim is found already in G.W.S. Barrow (ed.), Regesta Regum Scottorum, vol. 2, p. 476 (Edinburgh University Press, 1971).]
'Iniany' is Ananie, a lost name in the parish of Maryton, adjacent to Fullerton [Andrew Jervise, Memorials of Angus & Mearns, vol. 1, p. 91]; it appears as 'Innyan' in the 1871 census of Maryton. The village of Friockheim, in the parish of Kirkden, was not so named until 1824. Whether 'Falerikkum' is Fullerton is uncertain, but 'Falerikkum' is definitely not Friockheim!
I'm pleased to see they have now corrected it, and it's now at Inquest of land of 'Iniany' next to 'Falerikkum'

The kirk of Maryton was granted to Arbroath Abbey by William the Lion ["[I have also given to them] the church of St Mary of Old Munros with the land of that church that in Scots is called `Abthen'"], but, by agreement with Brechin Cathedral dated 21 Oct 1304, ownership passed to the cathedral, to settle the difficulties that had arisen from its being within the diocese of Brechin yet owned by the abbey, which was in the diocese of St Andrews [Arbroath Lib., i, charters 1 and 244].
