Murder of Alexander Montgomerie
Alexander Montgomerie (10 February 1723 – 25 October 1769) was the 10th Earl of Eglinton. Alexander was mortally wounded on the beach near his stables at Parkhouse on his own estate of Ardrossan by an excise officer or Gaudger (Scots) named Mungo Campbell on 24 October 1769 following a dispute about poaching and the latter's right to bear arms on the earl's grounds.〔

Alexander, one of twenty siblings, was the eldest son of the 9th Earl of Eglinton and Susanna Montgomery, Countess of Eglinton the earl's third wife and a renowned society beauty. Alexander planned and built the conservation village of Eaglesham in 1769 around the basic plan of a capital 'A' (for Alexander). The Earl introduced the young James Boswell to the joys of London society in the early 1760s, and figures prominently in ''Boswells London Journal, 1762-63''. He was the Grand Master Mason of the Grand Lodge of Scotland from 1750-51. He was married to Jane (or Jean) Montgomerie, daughter of John Maxwell and widow of James Montgomerie of Lainshaw, the brother of Boswell's wife Margaret.〔 They had no offspring.
Alexander was a great agricultural innovator and although this ultimately led to improvements that were of great benefit they were initially very unpopular with many of the tenants.〔
