Preface. vii
Fraser, of Findrach, in the parish of Lumphanan,
county of Aberdeen. The present laird of Find-
rach is her grandson, who has in his possession a
portrait of his great-grandfather by Ferguson, the
astronomer. Mr. Baird died at Aberdeen, 1777,
aged 76; his wife, Anne Duff, having died 1773,
aged 68. The remains of both rest in the church-
yard of St Nicholas, Aberdeen.
I discovered this manuscript when looking over
various old documents and records which belonged
to my predecessors. to one of whom, John Duff of
Drummuir, I have reason to think, it was given
by his grand uncle, the aforesaid William Duff of
Muirtown.
Lauchlan D. Gordon Duff.
