Re: Malcolm Caithness??




Laurel,
    Malcolms true name is Malcolm Sinclair.  He uses Caithness as that is
his title. Peter St. Clair-Erskine is the Earl of Rosslyn.  He is a very
distant relation only thruogh   marriage. Whenthe last Sinclair died without
male heir the daughter married a Wedderburn. It was his daughter who married
an Erskine.  The Erskine family added the St. Clair to their name because
they became Earls of Rosslyn.  They proceeded to sell off the estate and all
the Sinclair family silver and really impoverish the estates.  This is one
of the reasons the Sinclairs are having a bit of trouble over Rosslyn.  Too
bad.
                                                        Yours Aye, David
