Note 21 — INTRODUCTION

For general information about Gordon of Glenbucket, the reader is referred to Mr. J. M. Bulloch’s monumental work, The House of Gordon (New Spalding Club, Aberdeen, 1912). For Glenbucket’s character and his actions in 1745, see infra, p. 113 et seq. It is remarkable how the designation ‘of Glenbucket’ has adhered to the family for generations, although the land from which it was derived was parted with a hundred and seventy-nine years ago. Gordon’s descendants are still tenants of the farm of St. Bridget’s, in Glenlivet, which was old Glenbucket’s home in 1745, and are still termed ‘Glenbucket’ in the district. For the Macdonell marriages see the genealogies in History of Clan Donald, vol. iii.
