history |
The presence of the papers of Brigadier General John Forbes (GD45/2) is explained by the connections between James Glen, Governor of South Carolina, and both Forbes and the Dalhousie Family. Glen was Forbes' executor and his niece married the 8th Earl of Dalhousie.
When consulting GD45/6 it should be noted that there are indexes attached to many of the bound volumes and that GD45/6/171 and Appendix B are also indexes to this section.
A number of items must represent the antiquarian collection made by Harry Maule of Kellie. This applies in particular to GD45/13(2) and GD45/16(31).
In a number of cases miscellaneous papers concerning particular families (e.g. the Strachans of Carmyllie) are associated with the titles to lands which eventually passed to the Dalhousie or Panmure family. These have been left with the titles concerned. (See headings of sub-secs. of GD45/16.) |
Publication note |
Various documents included in the inventory have been published in the 'Registrum de Panmure', which is referred to throughout the inventory as 'Registrum'. On many documents there are pencilled notes by Andrew Jervise, who made use of the Panmure papers when writing his 'Memorials of Angus and the Mearns'. Jervise actually recovered the volumes numbered GD45/18/795 and 797, as indicated in the inventory at that point. |
