Name That Laird, No. 6, Named

Name That Laird, No. 6, Named

The laird is John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Viscount of Dundee, “Bonnie Dundee”

Those who rose successfully to the challenge are:

[1] Mark D. Dennis who wrote: “He just knew who it was”…

[2] Alex Findlater, who wrote “He thought it must be “Bonnie Dundee..”

[3] Liam Devlin, he picked the right laird !

[4] Ernest Edward “Tex” Aitchison, who came up with the right answer
the 7th Laird of Claverhouse and 1st Viscount of Dundee
with only 20 minutes of research in his personal library on 9 Jan 2021

[5] A Scottish armiger with the right laird who wished to remain Anonymous

[6] Another Scottish armiger with the right laird who also wished to remain Anonymous

Honorable mention must be made to John Glynn of Glynstewart who told me he thought it was a Graham but didn’t have the sources with which to research to tell me which one. You did good John, considering !

Congratulations to all who came up with the right laird !
