Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Montrose Tradition still points to a building in the town of Montrose as the birthplace of James Graham, fifth Earl and first Marquis of the line, - a building also fondly cherished by the antiquary as the last to shelter the Old Chevalier on Scottish soil. Both traditions are of course disputed, and both are easy to dispute. The title of Montrose was taken, not from the town of that name but, from the estate of Old Montrose on the opposite side of the bay, which a Graham had acquired from Robert Bruce in exchange for the lands of Cardross in Dumbartonshire. The name is said to be of Gaelic origin, Alt or Aid Moineros, the Burn of the Mossy Point; but the prefix must have been understood in its Saxon significance at least as early as the twelfth century, for in a charter of that time the place is styled Fetus Monros. The old castle has long since disappeared. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
