| He served heir as Baron of Glenesk 25 April 1699. He became deeply embarrassed and sold his extensive barony, extending over the whole north of Forfarshire from near Brechin to Invermark and Mount Keen, for £192,502, 10s. 8d. Scots to James, Earl of Panmure. The Earl, who bought the barony with the view of maintaining the Jacobite interest, was forfeited for the Rising of 1715, but the Panmure estates, including Glenesk, were repurchased, and now belong to the Earl of Dalhousie. The last years of Edzell were spent in obscurity and in some not very creditable litigation. He is said to have been an ostler at Kirkwall in Orkney before his death there in 1744. In him ended the male line of Sir David, eldest son of the ninth Earl of Crawford, and the representation of the Earls, together with all right to the chiefship and barony of Lindsay, devolved upon James, fifth Earl of Balcarres.4 | ||
