When he learned that his beloved was about to start for Scotland, he felt that it would be well that he should strike a blow before she went.

The Duke's estates in Scotland include Langwell Lodge, which the family has frequently visited for deer-stalking and grouse-shooting in the autumn. Then there is Cessnock Castle, near Galston, Ayrshire, where the Duke and Duchess had not stayed for many years till 1906.
He also holds several patents for alternating-current machinery, and has written largely on electrical subjects. William Tweeddale, born in Ayrshire in 1823, rendered valuable engineering service in the Civil War, and was an authority on the sources and character of water supply.
