Adam Craufurd of Dalleagles and Polquhairn

Biography


Birth: possibly 1712
Death: ca. 1794

The last Craufurd of Dalleagles. At his death he was referred to as Craufurd of Polquhairn.1

Also known as

  • Craufurd of Dalleagles
  • Craufurd of Polquhairn
  • Life with James Boswell

    Boswell visited Polquhairn as the first stop on his harvest jaunt of 1762, together with James Chalmers on September 14, 1762.

    Notes

    The age of Craufurd is inferred from (Link), but I don't know for sure if he is in fact the Craufurd of Dalleagles who was (presumably) visited by Boswell.

    Note 1: According to The Commissariot Record of Glasgow - Register of Testaments
