I know that Captain Ludovic Grant of Knockando (perhaps son of above?) held a commission in the 89th Regiment of Foot in 1759, at the same time as Capt William Macgillivray of Dunmaglass (whose elder brother Alexander Macgillivray had led the McIntosh regiment at Culloden and died). The regiment was raised by the Dowager Duchess of Gordon for her son and placed under the command of her second husband, the American Staats Long Morris. Other captains in this regiment were Alexander, 4th Duke of Gordon, Alexander Duff of Davidston (whose grandmother had famously declared ‘soldiers is but slaves’), Normand Lamont, son of the Laird of Lamont, Duncan Macpherson of Bleaton, George Morison, and. Dunbar of Duffus’ son. So in Inverness 13 years after Culloden, the hatchet seems to have been buried as Hanoverian and Jacobite sons were fighting side by side - yet it is frequently disinterred today! Jane
