About George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff

George Ogilvy, recorded as baptised in the Aberdeen sasines, xiv 500, on 9 September 1649, was the third Lord Banff. He inherited the lands of Inchdrewer and Montbray on the death of his father in 1668. Formerly a staunch Roman Catholic, he renounced his faith and became a Protestant in 1705, which allowed him to resume his seat in the Scottish Parliament in 1706. On the final sitting of the parliament, he voted in support of the Acts of Union 1707 and received a nominal payment as his share of the compensation fund. He was murdered and his body burned in a fire at Inchdrewer Castle in 1713.
