Adam Craufurd of Dalleagles and Polquhairn

Biography

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

Also known as

  • Craufurd of Dalleagles

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
