"Ardranniche 1681 Chisholm Writs, no. 521 [Disposition by Wm. Fraser oy and
apparent heir to William Fraser of Kilbockie"
I think 'oy' is likely to be 'og' meaning young/younger?
. No. 'Oy' means grandchild, usually grandson, though it can occasionally be used for nephew.
Thanks Forfarian, I'd never seen/heard this before i.e. I've learned something new.
