• Notes

  David Barclay (Quaker) Col. David Barclay (1610 – October 12, 1686), of Mathers, St Cyrus, Kincardineshire in Scotland, was 1st Laird of Urie near Stonehaven, Kincardineshire, Scotland, and father of Robert Barclay, the eminent Quaker apologist. Following active service in Europe as a professional soldier under Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, he attained the rank of Colonel and fought in the English Civil War on the side of the King. In 1647 he purchased the lands and barony of Urie in Kincardineshire from William Keith, 7th Earl of Marischal. As a known associate of the Earl Marischal he was subsequently confined in Edinburgh Castle where he was converted to Quakerism in 1665 by the celebrated laird of Swinton, who was confined in the same prison. Family Col. David Barclay was the son of David Barclay[1] (1580–1660), 11th of Mathers, of Kincardineshire, Scotland and Elizabeth Livingstone, daughter of John Livingston of Dunnipace. He married Katherine Gordon, daughter of Sir Robert Gordon (1580–1656), 1st Baronet., founder of Gordonstoun School and Louisa Gordon of London, on Dec 24, 1647 in Kincardine. By Katherine he had two daughters, Lucy and Jean, and three sons, Robert, John, and David. • Lucy died unmarried. • Jean married Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel, to whom she bore eight children. • Robert, the eldest son, who became celebrated as the apologist for the Quakers. • John, the second son, settled in East Jersey in America, where he married and left issue. • David died unmarried.

The 1,600-acre Ury Estate in Aberdeenshire was bought by its sitting agricultural tenant. The property was once owned by the family of James Barclay, an 18th Century banker whose business laid the foundations of Barclays Bank. Barclays brokered the purchase of the estate, which lies just north of Stonehaven. The property, which includes a derelict mansion, was bought by farmer John Forbes from administrators, following the collapse of former owners FM Developments in 2009. FM had initiated plans for a championship golf course designed by golfing giant Jack Nicklaus, as well as a hotel and 220 domestic houses on the estate, before entering administration. Image caption John Forbes plans to focus in the short term on farming the estate's lands But Mr Forbes, whose family had a stake in FM, said he would focus for the time being on cultivating the land for agricultural use. Mr Forbes said: "I have known about the Ury Estate for as long as I can remember and have a great deal of respect for its history, and of course its connection with the Barclay family. "In a few years' time, I will look to reinstate the Ury house to its former glory and - if the economic climate is supportive enough - invest in an exclusive commercial development on the land. "But for now I am looking forward to maintaining a piece of Scotland's heritage." The Ury mansion, which now lies in ruins, has had a colourful history. The original property burnt down in 1645, before being completely rebuilt as Ury House in 1855 by architect John Baird. Ury was acquired in 1648 by Colonel David Barclay, whose son Robert used the mansion as the North East Scotland headquarters of the Quakers. In the 1730s, David's great-grandson James joined the banker Joseph Freame in his business in London, from which Barclays Bank traces its origins. Barclays Bank said it had a keen interest in preserving its "historic kinship" with Scotland. James Osborne, from Barclays, said: "Like my colleagues across the organisation, I am extremely proud of Barclays heritage in Scotland and wanted to see the former family home go to a deserving owner." http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-17846853
