About Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch, 7th Baronet

Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch of Gilmerton was a Scottish baronet who, in one of the most celebrated cases in late 18th century Britain, killed his elder brother, Sir Francis Kinloch, 6th baronet of Gilmerton. In the approach to the tragic events he was known by his military title of Major Alexander Gordon Kinloch. Through the greatest of ironies, due to the murder, Kinloch was thereafter entitled "Sir". It has wrongly been considered one of the first recorded instances of diminished responsibility due to mental instability. Kinloch was acquitted by reason of insanity. The case also set parameters for the use and validity of notes taken by witnesses in use as testimony.
