Notities over Duncan Forbes 3rd of Culloden

The eldest son and successor, Duncan Forbes third of Culloden, received from the Scots parliament, the privilege of distilling into spirits the grain of the barony of Ferintosh, at a nominal composition of the duty, which remained the same, after the spirits distilled in other parts of the country were subjected to a comparatively heavy excise, (Burke's Hist. of the Commoners, vol. iv. p. 622,) hence Ferintosh became renowned for its whisky. The privilege was taken away in 1785. This Duncan Forbes, the father of the president, sat in the Scots parliament for the county of Nairn, and died in 1704. By his wife Mary, daughter of Sir Robert Innes, of Innes, in Morayshire, baronet, he had two sons, John, and Duncan, lord president, of whom a memoir follows, and several daughters. He is described as having been "a real good man," embued with a deep sense of religion, and successful in imparting it to his children. His next brother, David Forbes of Newhall, an eminent lawyer and man of letters, was the friend and one of the patrons of Allan Ramsay, one of whose odes, written in 1728, 'to the memory of Mrs. Forbes of Newhall,' commences,
"Ah, life! thou short uncertain blaze.
Scarce worthy to be wish'd or loved,
When by strict death so many ways,
So soon the sweetest are removed."
Life and Works of Ramsay, vol. i. p. 270.
In the third volume of the same edition (Fullarton and co.'s, 1851), page 301, we find John Forbes of Newhall and Duncan his kinsman mentioned as being members of the 'Worthy Club,' which was in existence long before 1714, and which frequently met at Newhall House. On the ceiling of one of its parlours, which bore the name of the Club Room, is a painting of Ramsay reciting, long before it was printed, the embryo passages of the Gentle Shepherd.
