Robert Burness was eldest son of James. His exact date of birth and death are unknown since Glenbervie parish records started in 1721 and no gravestone has survived. By his wife Isabella Keith he had four sons and four daughters. Robert was originally tenant of the farm of Upper Kinmonth in Glenbervie. Around 1724 he became tenant of Clochnahill in the neighbouring parish of Dunnottar. In May 1745 he took a seven-year lease of the smaller farm of Falside in the parish of Kinneff, but financial difficulties forced him to give up farming in September 1747. He likely retired to a cottage at Denside with three unmarried daughters.
