Captain Sir James Ogilvy-Grant, Baronet 11th Earl of Seafield, 3rd Lord Strathspey, Chief of the Glan Grant, DL (1876 - 1915)
The eldest son of the 10th Earl of Seafield. He succeeded his father in 1888 and    married Mary Elizabeth Nina, daughter of Joseph Henry Townsend of Christchurch, New Zealand. After immigrating from New Zealand to England, he and his family eventually went to Scotland, where he was well received by the members of the Clan Grant. With the outbreak of World War I, he was commissioned Captain in the 3rd Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders. Lord Seafield was mortally wounded in Flanders in 1915 and his young daughter, Nina Caroline, became Countess of Seafield. The vast Grant and Seafield estates were held in trust by a group of solicitors in Edinburgh for the young countess until she reached the age of majority in 1946.
