FAMILY OF BUCHANAN. 183
to six thousand merks per annum, which was ac-
quired by Sir John, the late laird's grandfather,
for money he was engaged in for Cunninghame of
Glengarnock, proprietor thereof; as also he had
the estate of Craigmillar in Mid-Lothian, being
ten thousand merks per annum, acquired, by his
father. So that from these three estates the fa-
mily had near thirty thousand merks of yearly
rent. But Buchanan having sold Badindalloch
and Craigmillar when in health, and that of Buch-
anan going off in the manner we have already
mentioned, after having continued six hundred
and sixty-five years in that name, and in an un-
interrupted succession of twenty-two lairds ; by
this mismanagement, and want of proper advice
from his friends, this flourishing fortune has been
destroyed, and the family itself extinguished.
The Paternal Arms of the Family of Buchanan.
