General Notes:
"Dingwall (William), afterwards of Culsh, the eldest
son of Arthur Dingwall of Brownhill and Sarah Murray his first
wife, was baptized gth May, 1712. He was educated at Marischal
College, Aberdeen, and is believed to have been designed
for the legal profession. The sudden death of his uncle and
aunt in 1733, leaving a young family unprotected, may have prevented
this, and occasioned his residing at Brucklay Castle, as
their guardian and as factor on the property."
