A History of the Lairds of Grant and Earls of Seafield
t5^ %• THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY GAROWNE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD. THE RULERS OF STRATHSPEY A HISTORY OF THE LAIRDS OF GRANT AND EARLS OF SEAFIELD BY THE EARL OF CASSILLIS " seasamh gu damgean" Fnbemess THB NORTHERN COUNTIES NEWSPAPER AND PRINTING AND PUBLISHING COMPANY, LIMITED 1911 M csm nil TO CAROLINE, COUNTESS OF SEAFIELD, WHO HAS SO LONG AND SO ABLY RULED STRATHSPEY, AND WHO HAS SYMPATHISED SO MUCH IN THE PRODUCTION OP THIS HISTORY, THIS BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY THE AUTHOR. PREFACE The material for " The Rulers of Strathspey" was originally collected by the Author for the article on Ogilvie-Grant, Earl of Seafield, in The Scots Peerage, edited by Sir James Balfour Paul, Lord Lyon King of Arms. A great deal of the information collected had to be omitted OAving to lack of space. It was thought desirable to publish it in book form, especially as the need of a Genealogical History of the Clan Grant had long been felt. It is true that a most valuable work, " The Chiefs of Grant," by Sir William Fraser, LL.D., was privately printed in 1883, on too large a scale, however, to be readily accessible. The impression, moreover, was limited to 150 copies. This book is therefore published at a moderate price, so that it may be within reach of all the members of the Clan Grant, and of all who are interested in the records of a race which has left its mark on Scottish history and the history of the Highlands. The Chiefs of the Clan, the Lairds of Grant, who succeeded to the Earldom of Seafield and to the extensive lands of the Ogilvies, Earls of Findlater and Seafield, form the main subject of this work. -

Falkland 1900-2000 Year 1919 (As Researched by Jack Burgess)
Falkland 1900-2000 Year 1919 (As researched by Jack Burgess) 4th January 1919 Extract from The Fife News: Princess Patricia’s Engagement to a Kinsman of Captain A. Maule Ramsay, House of Falkland – “Few princesses have enjoyed a wider popularity than the Duke of Connaught’s third and youngest child, Victoria Patricia Helena Elizabeth, otherwise “Princess Pat”, whose engagement to the Earl of Dalhousie’s brother, Commander the Hon. Alexander Ramsay, R.N., is announced. Commander Ramsay is 37, just five years older than the Princess, and he has spent most of his life in the Royal Navy. A kinsman of his is Captain Archibald Maule Ramsay, Coldstream Guards, who recently married the widow of Lord Ninian Crichton Stuart. Commander Ramsay’s mother was a famous beauty of the Court of Queen Victoria. She was Lady Ida Louise Bennet, younger of the two lovely daughters of the 6th Earl of Tankerville. Her death and that of her husband, the 13th Earl of Dalhousie, occurred in tragic circumstances in 1887. They had toured America together, and were on the voyage home when, just before the vessel touched at Havre, the countess was taken suddenly ill and died. The shock of the bereavement so affected the earl that he also died on the following day. The five orphan boys were brought up and educated by their uncle, the Hon. Charles Ramsay, whose wife, a charming and wealthy American, proved a second mother to the children.” Marriage of Princess Patricia to Commander the Hon. Alexander Ramsay Extract from The Fife News: Death – Forsyth – “At Falkland, on the 26th December 1918, Walter Forsyth, late pig-dealer, aged 85.” 11th January 1919 Intimation in The Fife News: B.O.A.F.G. -
