James Maconochie, of Meadowbank

Biographical Summary

"Duncan's eldest son, James Maconochie, who, at his father's death, was little more than nine years old, in 1680 succeeded in getting some compensation, together with the family residence in the city of Edinburgh, from his grand-uncle Archibald, who, at the reversal of attainder, after his brother's death, got possession of the estate of Inveraugh. With this money he purchased the property of Meadowbank, in Midlothian, which his descendant still possesses, and where, adopting the lowland customs, all the family took the name of Maconochie. James marr. Mary Stewart."
