Father:1Magnus Mowat of Balquholly (-after 8 August 1526)
Based on the list of jury members 10 January 1558-9 in Aberdeen, of which most can be identified as significant landowners in Aberdeenshire, it seems probable that Gilbert was the younger son of a laird of Balquholly.

Personal Info
He was a witness in 1559.3
He was a jury member in Aberdeen 10 January 1558-9.4
He was in court some time between 27 May and October 1559 against Mr. John Craig, parson of Kincardine and portioner of Balmalie regarding violent occupation of the Quarter lands of Balmalie. (Sasine dated 9 November 1558. Warning dated at Cragfyntre 14 March 1558-9. Decree of Removing pronounced of consent.)5
He was again in court 31 October 1559 regarding the lands of Balmalie. There are multiple cases between multiple persons regarding these lands. There was apparently an agreement between (John?) Craig and Gilbert Mowat dated 28 March 1558-9. In October John Craig seems to be replaced by Andrew Craig (his son?). For the last case between Thomas Con and Gilbert Mowat, it says "Difficult to disentangle these cases. This one refers to the Sunny Quarter part Lands of Balmalie. Apparently Mowat supports Craig."6
