| As the second son of Sir James Grant by his wife Anne Colquhoun, heiress of Luss, he, in terms of the entail by Sir Humphrey Colquhoun, was, after the death of his mother, retoured as nearest heir-male of entail to her in the lands and barony of Luss and others, 27 March 1729, and assumed the name of Colquhoun.17 | ||
| Ludovick Colqulioun was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates 24 April 1728. On 22 June 1732 he obtained a charter of novodamus of the lands and barony of Luss to himself and the other heirs of entail on his own resignation. In the same year, however, owing to the death of his elder brother Humphrey, his father settled on him the estates of Grant in fee, and he denuded himself, though with reluctance, of those of Luss in favour of his younger brother James, in terms of the entail. He was entrusted with the management of the Grant estates, and was elected member of Parliament for the counties of Elgin and Forres 1741, a seat which he held till 1761. In the troubles of 1745 Grant acted a prudent part, and followed the advice of his father 'to stay at home, take care of his country, and join no party'. This did not, however, prevent him giving a certain amount of help to the Government, and in February 1746 he received orders from the Duke of Cumberland to raise his clan for the King. Castle Grant was in March occupied for a short time by the Jacobites, but was soon evacuated. Grant and his men joined Cumberland at Cullen on 11 April, but they were not at the battle of Culloden.18 | ||
| He succeeded his father in his baronetcy and estates 16 January 1747. After this there is not much recorded of him.19 | ||
