| Notes: | East Lodge C(S) Listed Glenmuick was one of two Scottish estates purchased by James Thompson Mackenzie, the son of an Aberdeen silk mercer, who in 1838 went out to an indigo plantation in India where he made a very substantial fortune. In his later years, he became “a persistent cultivator of royalty”, frequently entertaining the Prince of Wales. His caricature, by Lib, appeared in Vanity Fair 23 March 1889. He was created 1st Baronet Mackenzie, of Glenmuick, on 21 March 1890 but he died in Brighton less than five months later. See also separate item for Kintail |
