  Clan Grant
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.
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.
In 1812 Sir Lewis Grant of Grant inherited the Earldom of Seafield.
