Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the 700-year history of the Arbuthnot family, initially focusing on the senior line of Arbuthnott in Kincardineshire, Scotland. It explores the family's role in Scottish history, their involvement in famous cultural events, and details their lineage from the 13th century to the present day. The author then gives a detailed account of the Aberdeenshire branches of the family, examining their cadet lines from the 15th century onwards. Through exploration of their personal lives, this book brings to life the stories of notable members of the family, including Doctor John Arbuthnot, a close friend of Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, and John Gay, and the Right Honourable Charles Arbuthnot, a politician during the Napoleonic Wars. The author draws on original research to explore the family's involvement in Jacobite plots, their contribution to Enlightenment science, and their role in the British Empire, weaving a fascinating account of the impact of one Scottish family on wider British society.
