Sir George Kinnaird of Inchture, a steady loyalist during the
Civil Wars, was knighted by Charles II., 1661. He represented the
county of Perth in the Scots' Parliament, and was sworn a Privy
Councillor on 28 December, 1682; he was raised to the peerage, as
Lord Kinnaird of Inchture. He died, 29 September, 1689. He was
descended from Radulphus, on whom King William the Lion bestowed,
in 1170, the barony of Kinnaird. Richard de Kinnaird, the great
grandson of Radulphus, was one of the Scots barons who swore fealty
to Edward I., in 1296, as did also his son, Radulphus. (See Rymer's
_Foedera_, 1304.) Reginald, 2nd son of the latter's grandson,
married Margery, heiress of Sir John Kirkaldy, of Inchture. George,
Lord Kinnaird, was ninth in direct descent from this union.
