Alexander Penrose Forbes Erskine+ b. 13 Aug 1881, d. 20 Jun 1925 http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/scotgaz/towns/townhistory186.html < Alloa Tower, built about 1223, was in 1360 bestowed by David II. on Sir Robert Erskine, Great Chamberlain of Scotland, whose seventh descendant, John, sixth Lord Erskine, was in 1565 created Earl of Mar-a title which, forfeited in 1716, was restored in 1824, and with which that of Earl of Kellie (cre. 1619), was united in 1828. Their present holder is Walter Henry Erskine, who, born in 1839, succeeded his father in 1872 as thirteenth Earl of Kellie, and in 1875 was declared also fourteenth Earl of Mar by judgment of the House of Lords (Rev. A. W. Hallen's Mar Peerage Case, 1875). The tower is square and of great strength, the walls 11 feet thick, the topmost turret 89 feet high and this strength it was that saved it from the great fire of 28 Aug. 1800, which destroyed all the later additions, along with a portrait of Mary Queen of Scots. Mary spent much of her childhood here, as also did James VI. and Prince Henry: and the latter's golf-club and James's cradle are still preserved. The modern house (1834-38) was much enlarged between 1866 and 1872, when its gardens, with terrace and lawns sloping down to the river, were likewise greatly improved. 73. Sir Archibald Campbell, afterwards 1st Lord Blythswood 1885-92 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archibald_Campbell%2C_1st_Baron_Blythswood Lt.-Col. Sir Archibald Campbell, 1st Baron Blythswood (22 February 1835–8 July 1908) was a Scottish politician. Born Archibald Campbell Douglas (he dropped the Douglas from his name in 1838) in Florence, Italy, he was the son of Archibald Campbell, 17th Laird of Mains. Campbell fought in the Crimean War in 1855 (where he was severely wounded) and rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of the Scots Fusilier Guards. On 7 July 1864, he married Hon. Augusta Clementina Carrington, a daughter of the 2nd Baron Carrington, at Whitehall Chapel, London. From 1873 to 1874 and 1885 to 1892, he was MP for Renfrewshire. On 4 May 1880, he was created Baronet Campbell of Blythswood and was an Aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria. In 1888 he was awarded an honorary doctorate of Law from the University of Glasgow and made a Freeman of the City of Glasgow. On 24 August 1892, he was created Baron Blythswood, with a special remainder to his five younger brothers. He died on at age 73 at Blythswood House, Renfrewshire, without issue and was buried on 11 July 1908 at Inchinnan. His baronetcy became extinct but his barony passed to his brother, Sholto. http://www.thepeerage.com/p5077.htm Lt.-Col. Sir Archibald Campbell, 1st Baron Blythswood was born on 22 February 1835 in Florence, Italy. 1 He was the son of Archibald Campbell, 17th of Mains and 12th of Blythswood and Caroline Agnes Dick. 1 He married Hon. Augusta Clementina Carrington, daughter of Robert John Carrington, 2nd Baron Carrington of Upton and Hon. Charlotte Augusta Annabella Drummond-Willoughby, on 7 July 1864 in Whitehall Chapel, Whitehall, London, England. 1 He died on 8 July 1908 at age 73 in Bytheswood House, Renfrewshire, Scotland, without issue. 2 He was buried on 11 July 1908 in Inchinnan, Scotland. 2 His will was probated, with personalty at about £91,000, exclusive of large settled estates. 2 Lt.-Col. Sir Archibald Campbell, 1st Baron Blythswood was baptised with the name of Archibald Campbell Douglas. 1 On 1838 his name was legally changed to Archibald Campbell Campbell. 1 He fought in the Crimean War in 1855, where he was severely wounded. 1 He held the office of Aide-de-Camp to HM Queen Victoria. 1 He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Renfrewshire between 1873 and 1874. 1 He gained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the service of the Scots Fusilier Guards. 1 He was created 1st Baronet Campbell [U.K.] on 4 May 1880. 1 He held the office of Grand Master of the Freemasons [Scotland] between 1885 and 1892. 1 He held the office of Member of Parliament (M.P.) for Renfrewshire, West Division between 1885 and 1892. 1 He was awarded the honorary degree of Doctor of Law (LL.D.) by University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, in 1888. 1 He was created 1st Baron Blythswood, co. Renfrew [U.K.] on 24 August 1892, with a special remainder to five of his younger brothers. 1 He was President of the Highland and Agricultural Society [Scotland] between 1896 and 1897. 1 He held the office of Lord-Lieutenant 122
of Renfrewshire between 1904 and 1908. 1 He was admitted to Freeman of the City of Glasgow. 2 On his death, his baronetcy became extinct. Sir Archibald Campbell [Douglas] Campbell, first Baron Blythswood 1835-1908, amateur of science, born at Florence on 22 Feb. 1835, was eldest of nine children of Archibald Douglas (1809-1868), 17th laird of Mains, Dumbartonshire, who assumed the name of Campbell in 1838 on succeeding his cousin, Archibald Campbell, as 12th laird of Blythswood. His father claimed descent from Sir Duncan Campbell (created Lord Campbell in 1445), ancestor of the dukes of Argyll [see Campbell, Colin, d. 1493], and from William de Douglas (fl. 1174), ancestor of the earls of Douglas, Hamilton and Morton. His mother was Caroline Agnes, daughter of Mungo Dick of Pitkerrow, co. Fife. After private education for the army, he joined in 1854 the 79th highlanders; next year he was transferred to the Scots guards, and served in the Crimea (where he was severely wounded in the trenches before Sevastopol), retiring from the army in 1868. Thenceforth his interests lay in politics, the auxiliary forces, and in science. A wealthy landowner and a strong conservative, he was active in organising the party in Scotland and sat in the House of Commons for Renfrewshire 1873-4, and for West Renfrewshire 1885-92. On 4 May 1880 he was made a baronet, and on 24 Aug. 1892 was raised to the peerage as Baron Blythswood. He commanded the 4th battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland highlanders from 1874 to 1904, and was aide-de-camp to Queen Victoria and King Edward VII from 1894. At Blythswood House, Renfrewshire, he entertained King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra (when Prince and Princess of Wales) in 1870 and Queen Victoria in 1888. Lord Blythswood, who enjoyed the intimate friendship of Lord Kelvin and other notable men of science, rendered important services to astronomical and physical science. He maintained at Blythswood House a splendidly equipped laboratory, the resources of which he placed freely at the disposal of scientific friends. He obtained photographic action through various opaque substances before Röntgen announced his results in 1895, and came near, according to Prof. Andrew Gray, F.R.S., to the discovery of the X- rays. Much of his time and labour was devoted to the construction of instruments of precision; foremost amongst these is his great dividing engine for ruling diffraction gratings. After his death Lady Blythswood placed this instrument and other apparatus connected therewith on loan at the National Physical Laboratory at Teddington, to be kept together and known as the Blythswood Collection. At the end of his life Blythswood was among the first to make experiments in the mechanics of aerial propulsion (see Engineering, 25 Dec. 1908). Blythswood, who was made hon. Doctor of Law of Glasgow in April 1907 and was elected F.R.S. on 2 May 1907, died at Blythswood House on 8 July 1908. He married on 7 July 1864 Augusta Clementina Carrington, daughter of Robert John, second baron Carrington, but left no issue. The peerage passed by special remainder to his brother, the Rev. Sholto Douglas Campbell- Douglas. A portrait of Blythswood by Sir Hubert von Herkomer was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1887. A replica is in the Conservative Club, Glasgow.
