As a result of his unwise decisions and lifestyle John Roy Grant was compelled to dispone of the Barony of Ballindalloch to Lt-Col William Grant.

'John Roy Grant, by his extravagant living and unhappy differences with his lady, a daughter of Leslie of Balquhain, entirely ruined his estate, and was obliged to consent to placing it under the management and trust of three of his kinsmen, Brigadier Grant, Captain Grant of Elchies, and Walter Grant of Arndilly, which gave occasion to W. Elchies' verses of "What meant the man?".'
