Do you suppose the Thomas MacCulloch referenced in this abstract from NAScould be your Thomas '5th of Plaids' MacCulloch? If so, it appears thathis mother's name may have been "Anne" instead of "Agnes":===================== Reference GD96/28

Sounds likely, but there is also a Thomas (Abbott of Fearn) MacCulloch,succeeded Abbott Finlay Faid as Abbott in 1486, but it is not clear whohe is related to. (The Calendar of Fearn: text and additions, 1471-1667,edited by R. J. Adam. Edinburgh printed for the Scottish HistoricalSociety by Pillans & Wilson Ltd., Edinburgh. 1991. page 30, 3, & #6 page76) Whoever the fact that it says "of Plaids" makes the Abbott seemunlikely.
