The Best of Men

From the Academy RUSSELL KIRK

In the park of his enchanted palace of Balcarres, near the end of last year, there died David Robert Alexander Lindsay, 28th Earl of Crawford, 11th Earl of Balcarres, Baron Wigan, Baronet of Haigh, Knight of the Thistle. He was Premier Earl on the Union Roll and, among his many other distinctions, a clan chief—though he never wore kilts. His like will not be seen again.
