The only story I know of concerns George Sinclair, the 6th Earl of Caithness,
who mortgaged his estates to John Campbell of Glenorchy. George Sinclair of
Keiss eventually got them back through royal decree. Not being an expert like
the other marvelous people on this list, I hope I have provided what you may
be looking for. By the way the mortaging of the estates took place in the
late 1600s.
