James Grant - 8th Bart of Luss

Biography


Birth: 1738
Death: 1811

8th Bart of Luss (1773-). Son of Sir Ludovick Grant (1707-1773) and Margaret Ogilvy (d. 1757). Married Jane Duff in 1763.

Also known as

  • Sir James Grant of Grant
  • 8th Bart of Luss
  • Life with James Boswell

    Boswell met a Mr. Grant, son to Sir Ludovic at Lady Frances Erskines on February 29, 1762. According to my info, Ludovick Grant had only one son , so I am pretty sure that the Mr. Grant referred to is James Grant.

    Notes

    Sir Ludovick Grant of Grant appears to have had only one son, which would make the Mr. Grant referred to  James Grant. Incidentally, Sir Ludovick's first wife was Marion Dalrymple (d. 1735), an aunt of Boswell's friend and mentor in his early years, David Dalrymple.
