| Sir John James, 3rd Baronet , son of Sir
George, joined the 15th Hussars and fought in the Peninsula
campaign and at Waterloo. He married Hannah Charlotte, heiress of Henry
Scott of Belford and changed the family name to Scott Douglas. The lands
of Longnewton were thus added to the estate of Springwood Park.
There is an iron plaque set into the boundary wall of Springwood Park
estate opposite to the end of the Rennie bridge which was put there by Sir
John James to indicate the boundary of his estate. He died in 1836 and was
succeeded by his son Sir George Henry Scott
Douglas.
