		This chief of the Grants was in such high favour with King James V that he obtained from that monarch a charter, dated 1535, exempting him from the jurisdiction of all courts of judicature, except the court of session, then newly instituted.
		Duncan, the elder son, predeceased his father in 1581, leaving four sons - John; Patrick, ancestor of the Grants of Easter Elchies, of which family was Patrick Grant, Lord Elchies, a lord of session; Robert, progenitor of the Grants of Lurg; and James, of Ardnellie, ancestor of those of Moyness.
		His lordship’s home-coming to Castle Grant was the occasion of an immense outburst of enthusiasm on the part of the clan, and afterwards, residing among his people, he and his countess did every thing to endear themselves to the holders of their ancient and honourable name.

	Amazon.com: Duncan Grant - A Biography: Books: Frances Spalding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Born in the Scottish Highlands and raised in India until he moved to London at age 14, Grant emerges as a mercurial, impractical, often histrionic and jealous man, who was also endearingly down-to-earth and indifferent to fame, and who hobnobbed with people at all levels of society, always eager to partake of new experiences.
		Spalding had complete access to Grant's papers and letters, but her feeble attempts to explain Grant's character (beyond his apparent physical beauty, he is called "charming" so many times that I lost count) are pallid.
		Prehaps, in the end, apart from Grant's enormous talent for painting-and we get a rather niggardly peek at the work-there was no "there there." Read Spalding's "Vanessa Bell: A Biography" for a sharper view of the people and events surrounding Grant's unusual life, "Duncan Grant" is a disappointment.
