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.
