Lesley Earl of Rothes Douglas Earl of Morton NOBILITY. Ramsay Earl of Dalhousie The list of the lesser barons is alphabetical, which, however, Gordon admits not to be complete. Not satisfied with the obvious utility of this mode of classification, he assigns a reason suited to the taste of his times, for giving his list in that form, lest he should offend the family pride of these toparchæ, quos vulgo small baronns and lairds vocant, " ne quis inferiorem sibi prolatum quæri possit." Auchmultic Several of these names are somewhat disfigured in the Latin of the foreign publisher of Gordon's papers, some of which the Editor has not found it possible to restore. APPENDIX. No. VI. As few counties in Scotland can boast of so many noblemens and gentlemens seats, it has been thought proper to give the following list of the principal houses. Many of them are uncommonly elegant, and by the rich and extensive plantations and pleasure grounds, with which they are surrounded, add greatly to the beauty of the county. Those which have been lately built, or have been greatly repaired and improved, have this mark + affixed to them. |
