Notizen bei Antony Adriaan Keith-Falconer, 7th Lord Falconer of Halkerton

7th Lord Faloner of Halkerton from 11 October 1776 till 30 August 1804. 5th Earl of Kintore from 28 May 1778 till 30 August 1804. Succeeded by his son William Keith-Falconer.

Upon Antony Adriaan’s marriage, his father gave the house and lands of Inglishmaldie (follow link), with an annual income of £100. On 23 April 1766, he released to his brothers and sisters his interest in the estates in Holland of Lord Halkerton and Rembt van Iddekinge, and went to Scotland, so that his children would be British subjects by virtue of their place of birth, a necessary step to ensure his right to inherit the title and lands of the Earl of Kintore. Arriving in August 1766, at Inglismaldie, he soon began improving his estates. His lands included Halkerton, Powburg, Burnton, Inglismaldie, one third of Balmakelly, Canterland, Smiddyhill, Shiels, Barnhill, Collardoe, Glensaugh, Glenfarquhar, Corsbitte, Drumhendry, Capoch, all in Kincardineshire and Dunlappie in Augus. The value of his father’s lands in Scotland, ±1770, was about £9.836. He was exceedingly eccentric, having a great propensity for shooting his tenants’ and neighbours’ barndoor fowls. His fowling exploits also included shooting a small bird that had flown in through an open window of Logie-Pert church, during service - which, he explained, was to prevent the bird disturbing the minister and the congregation.

Antony Adriaan became the 5th Earl of Kintore. The title Earl of Kintore was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1677 for Sir John Keith, along with the title of Lord Keith of Inverurie and Keith Hall.
At the death of William, 4th Earl of Kintore, in 1761 the Earldom should have passed under the terms of the 1694 regrant to his cousin George Keith, 10th and last Earl Marischal, as heir male of George Keith, 8th Earl Marischal, the elder brother of John Keith, 1st Earl of Kintore.
However, in 1715, for having supported the cause of the Stuart Kings, the English revoked his titles and estates. Exiled to Europe, the Earldom of Kintore remained suspended until the death of George Keith on 28 May 1778.
When George Keith died, it was decided that the titles and the estates should pass to the heir general of the 4th Earl of Kintore, his great-nephew Antony Adriaan Falconer, grandson of Katharine Margaret Keith, the sister of the 4th Earl of Kintore.
Anthony Adriaan then changed his surname to Keith-Falconer. The chiefship of Clan Keith then also passed to Antony Ardiaan.
---------------------------
Keith Hall, about one mile southeast of Inverurie - Aberdeenshire, was once called Caskieben Castle. Home of the Earls of Kintore.

In 1663 Sir John Keith bought the property from the Johnstone’s of that Ilk.
In the period till 1700 he built-on the 16th century Z-plan old castle of Caskieben tower house a large and stately south front and east wing in the Palladian style and renamed it all "Keith Hall".
The old part consists of a main block of four stories and garret with square towers, projecting from opposite corners, and round stair-towers.

The title Earl of Kintore was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1677 for Sir John Keith, along with the title of Lord Keith of Inverurie and Keith Hall.
The 1st Earl died in 1715. The 2nd Earl lived only until 1718 and was succeeded by his son John. In 1729 he married Mary Erskine and work recommenced at Keith Hall but with limited finances. The 4th Earl also lived at Keith Hall, but made no changes to the Hall.

From the death of the 4th Earl in 1761 Keith Hall was empty for 17 years, till in 1778 the title Earl of Kintore and the estates passed to the heir general of the 4th Earl, his great-nephew Antony Adriaan Falconer, 7th Lord Falconer of Halkerton, grandson of the 4th Earls’s sister Katharine Margaret Keith, who had married the 4th Lord Falconer of Halkerton in 1703.
By the time of his succession Antony Adriaan commissioned the Keith Hall interior to be refurbished despite the fact that his main home was at Inglismaldie, Kincardineshire.

The formal landscape which existed around Keith Hall in the 18th century was extended in the informal style following an improvement plan prepared by Thomas White in 1794 for the 6th Earl of Kintore.
Some further improvements were made by the 8th Earl between 1844-1880. The 9th Earl improved the gardens and created the lake to the south of the house.
In 1914 however, his trustees sold the estate which, at that time, extended to some 17,126 acres (6,936 ha). The house and a small part of the original estate was repurchased by the 9th Earl.

Michael Keith, 13th Earl of Kintore, understood that the income from the estate was not going to be enough to live off and maintain Keith Hall in the manner his ancestors had.
In 1984 a major restoration of Keith Hall started to converted it into six houses and eight flats that were sold in 1985.
The Earl and Countess of Kintore moved their residence to the converted Stables on the estate.
The garden is now owned by Keith Hall Gardens Ltd., which was formed to restore and maintain the gardens for the benefit and use of the owners of the house.
