THE LATE HON. MRS. GRANVILLE SOMERSET.
THE MACGREGORS OF MACGREGOR.
The Hon. Mrs. Granville Somerset, who died in Edinburgh on the 4th inst., aged 59, was the eldest daughter of the late Admiral Sir Malcolm MacGregor, fourth Baronet of MacGregor, and Chief of the Clan MacGregor, and of the Lady Helen MacGregor of MacGregor, of Edinchip, Balquhidder, Perthshire, daughter of the fourth Earl of Antrim. In 1892 she married Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. Granville William Richard Somerset (d. 1901). He was the third son of the second Lord Raglan, and an uncle of the present Lord Raglan, whose wife is the only daughter of Lord Belhaven and Stenton. Mrs. Somerset is survived by an only son, who served in the European War with the R.F.A., and was twice wounded. Mrs. Somerset was a sister of the Countess of Mansfield, and of the present Sir Malcolm MacGregor, fifth Baronet.
A daughter of Clan Alpin, which claims a Royal descent from Gregor, third son of Alpin, a Scottish king of the eighth century, Mrs. Somerset’s remains are to be interred today in the ancient family burial-place at Balquhidder, in whose churchyard may be seen the flat tombstone of the famous Rob Roy MacGregor.
