Apparently incomplete collection of correspondence and papers of William Marshall and of members of his family, together with related papers compiled by David J Mackenzie, Sheriff-substitute of Glasgow.
William Marshall, who was factor to the Duke of Gordon, was known in his own day as a Scottish fiddler and composer of strathspeys, and an inventor. The collection contains almost nothing of musical interest, and the largest single part consists of letters and copies of letters of his sons whilst on active service in India and in the Peninsular War, written to him and to other members of the family.
Correspondence and papers of or concerning General Sir Thomas Graham, Baron Lynedoch.
Correspondence of Thomas Graham is chiefly with his factor, Henry Burt, concerning his estate of Balgowan, but includes also some letters from eminent friends and acquaintances not included in MSS.3590-3645. There are also papers of Mrs M E Maxtone Graham concerning the publication of her book ‘The beautiful Mrs Graham’, and typescript material and correspondence concerning a projected book on Lord Lynedoch.
Correspondence and papers of the publisher, Robert Cadell, and of his grandchildren in the Stevenson family.
Robert Cadell (1788-1849) was the partner of Archibald Constable, and, after the dissolution of that partnership in 1825, the sole publisher of Walter Scott's novels. His papers reflect his personal and business relations with Scott and other authors, as well as his family affairs.
Correspondence, papers and notebooks chiefly of John Scott Haldane.
Amongst the papers and notebooks are some belonging to others which had come into the possession of J S Haldane.
Notebook belonging to William Rankin, James Rankin, and, finally, to Gabriel Rankin of Orchardhead.
Notebook of conversations and memorandums, probably compiled by the factor, on the Upper Foyers Estate.
Notebook of William Stewart, elder, Deputy Town Clerk, Edinburgh, containing rough notes of a legal nature and memoranda.
This may have been the notebook on which William Stewart's fuller protocol book would have been based.
Notebooks belonging to John, 4th Earl of Loudoun.
Papers of the family of Graham of Airth.
Includes papers of related families including Stirling of Ardoch and Strowan, a family bible and printed material.
