"Not all of the Blairfindy family made an accommodation with the British state, such as James had done by becoming a messenger-at-arms. John Grant, the second eldest brother, was the subject of reports by the British army in 1750 about his being suspected of enlisting men in the French service, whilst residing at Blairfindy. His son was the Scots-born, German educated, Baron Grant de Blairfindy (d.1784, in his 48th year), knight of St. Louis, soldier, spy, and spymaster in the French service."
