Mug shot

In the course of the looking up mentioned at the head of the previous post, I came across this family snap of the Sweerts de Landas family, drawn from, of all places, some organ of the Dumfries and Galloway media (reference 1). Good quality, high resolution picture, better than your average pick me up from google.

With the addition of the chap in the blue cardy, Richard Scott 10th Duke of Buccleuch (or more properly, Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, KBE DL FSA FRSE). I think it is the lady with the elephant pendant who is the tulip buff (on which more in due course).

PS: don't know what FSA means. Presumably not that the duke works for the food standards agency. FRSE is fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
