"George Kinnaird, the second son, acquired all the family properties from his brother John in 1660. A staunch royalist, he was knighted by King Charles II. in 1661, and made a Privy Councillor. As Sir George Kinnaird of Rossie he sat in Parliament for Perthshire 1661-63. On 6 December 1678 he resigned the lands and baronies of Inchmichael and Inchture in favour of himself in liferent, and his son Patrick in fee.
