Robert Grierson : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sir Robert Grierson, 1st Baronet
Sir Robert Grierson, 1st Baronet (1655/56 – 29 December 1733) was a Scottish baronet. ==Life==
Sir Robert Grierson, known as "Auld Lagg", was born at the farm of Barquhar, the son of the 1st Tutor of Lag, William Grierson (c. 1626-after 6 December 1665), the Laird of Barquhar, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, and his wife, Margaret Douglas (b. c. 1633), the daughter of Sir James Douglas, of Mouswald, Dumfriesshire. In 1666, Robert Grierson succeeded his cousin as Laird of Lag * * and he was for some years Steward of Kirkcudbright. In 1685 he was created a Baronet, of Lag, in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia, and awarded a pension. He is best remembered as a notorious persecutor of the Covenanters, particularly among the people of Galloway, and is still referred to as ''Cruel Lag''. The character of Sir Robert Redgauntlet of ''Wandering Willie's tale'' in Sir Walter Scott's ''Redgauntlet'' is based on Grierson.
