Charles Gordon was born in 1791 and died in 1845. He was secretary of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. His 4th son, Jose Clement, 1838-1914 inherited the estate. On his death the estate passed to his son and heir Charles Augustine Gordon who was born in 1882 and succeeded in 1914.
