A Lairdship Lost by Diane Baptie

This is an account of how a family in the North East of Scotland, dogged by misfortune, lost their land at the beginning of the 18th-century. The book is a family history, with details about travel, family interactions and money matters in relation to land and buildings, and to debt. The text also examines the family's prominence of the legal profession, the incidence of "good" Mowat marriages in attempts to repair family fortunes, and the frequency of their business ventures at home and abroad.
