• Notes

  Genealogist. His father, who inherited the baronetcy from a cousin in 1692, changed the name of his lands at Ardit, Fife, to Glenbervie, the name of the family's original barony in Kincardineshire. Details of Douglas's early life are few. The Glenbervie line was descended from a younger son of the fifth earl of Angus who died at Flodden in 1513. Born a younger son, Robert developed an abiding interest in the genealogy of Scotland's landed families that became his life's work.
