| He was served heir to his father 17 December 1799, and to his mother 9 November 1833. He was Captain in the 23rd Regiment, and was a celebrated amateur pedestrian and athlete. By petition to the King he claimed as heir-general and of line of William, first Earl of Airth, the honour, dignity, and title conferred on his ancestor by the patent of 1633, and this petition was referred to the House of Lords on the 2 of June 1834, and remitted by their Lordships to the Lords' Committee on Privileges. Another claimant came forward in the person of Sir William Scott of Ancrum, Bart., but his claim was not persisted in. Evidence on Mr. Barclay Allardice's claim, a petition against which was lodged by a Mrs. Bishop, who alleged descent from Lady Elizabeth Graham, was heard in July and August 1839, when further proceedings were adjourned to the next session of Parliament. At this stage, however, Mr. Barclay Allardice was advised to claim the Earldoms of Strathern and Menteith, as well as Airth, and a petition to this effect was presented to Queen Victoria on 4 August 1840 ; but no further steps were taken during the lifetime of the claimant.8 | ||
