General Notes:
"The rebel laird (Charles Gordon of Blelack) died withont lawful issue, when the estate passed to Charles Rose, a sister's son, who prefixed Gordon to his own surname. Having light hair (that of the Gordons being dark), he was known as 'the Red Laird.' He left a half-witted son Keith Gordon, who died almost a pauper, in 1869, aged 73, at Fairnrae in Towie."
