• Notes

  Early Life There is a Findagrave record for James Stewart giving his date of birth as 25th of June 1608, at Keithan in Aberdeenshire. As there is no image it's hard to verify that this is correct. Career and Family Styled Lord Doune, James was served heir to his father on the 15th November 16381. According to Debrett's2 he succeeded as 3rd Baron St. Colme in 1611. He was made Sheriff-Principal of Inverness in 1657. James was a royalist, but not much involved in the troubles of the time, though he was a colonel of a regiment in Elgin and Nairn in 1643. James married Margaret Home, the co-heiress of James, Lord Home and had eight children. Death James died on the 4th of March 1653. Footnotes [1] The Scots Peerage, Ed.
