Burke's "Colonial Gentry" has Robert, the first Laird of Tannachy, the son of Thomas Tulloch who in turn was the son of William Tulloch and Janeta Strathauchin. However, various other sources such as the Tannachie papers and the Fearn Calendar have Thomas Tulloch as the son of Alexander Tulloch, burgess of Forres. Given that the Fearn Calendar was compiled by the husband of Thomas Tulloch's niece, this is taken as the more likely source.

On 25 July 1544, there is a sassine by Andrew Jameson alias Thomson, Lord of Fluris, investing Thomas Tulloch, son and apparent heir of Alexander Tulloch, burgess of Forres in 12 acres of land of Fluris. [4]

In 1548, Sir Nicholas Tulloche, chaplain of the chapel of St John Baptist of Logie, granted the lands of Logy to his brother, Thomas Tulloch of Fluris. [5]

Thomas Tulloch of Fleuris was described as the "chief officer" of Robert Reid, Bishop of Orkney, from 1551 to 1558. Bishop Reid had previously been Abbot of Kinloss Abbey in Moray.

Tulloch was said to have had a "stormy passage" on Orkney, and subjected to a Queens Commission to examine complaints against him in 1551. A few years later he was said to have caused "murmurs and quarrels" among the tenants and ordered to produce the weights he had used for assessing rents received in kind. [6]

After the death of Bishop Reid, Tulloch had a number of disputes with his successor, Bishop Adam Bothwell, over Tulloch's property in Kirkwall, Orkney, which continued until at least 1564.
