A wonderful association copy ! Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk JP DL 20 March 1854 10 November 1941 was a Scottish nobleman. Carnegie was the son of the explorer and poet James Carnegie 9th Earl of Southesk and his first wife Catherine Hamilton Noel daughter of the Charles Noel 1st Earl of Gainsborough. He had three older sisters Lady Arabella Charlotte wife of Samuel Romilly Lady Constance Mary wife of Victor Bruce 9th Earl of Elgin and Lady Beatrice Diana Cecilia Diana Cecillia wife of the Rev. Henry Holmes Stewart. After his mother's death in 1855 at the age of twenty-six his father remarried to Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Dunmore in 1860. From his father's second marriage he had seven younger half-siblings including: Sir Lancelot Douglas Carnegie Lady Dora Susan wife of Maj. Ernest de Rodakowski-Rivers Lady Elizabeth Erica Lady Helena Mariota Lady Katherine Agnes Blanche wife of Courtenay Morgan 1st Viscount Tredegar Hon. Robert Francis who married Violet Fraser and Hon. David Wynford Carnegie. His paternal grandparents were Sir James Carnegie 5th Baronet de jure 8th Earl of Southesk and the former Charlotte Lysons a daughter of the Reverend Daniel Lysons. He was educated at Harrow and St Andrews University and would later receive an honorary degree from the university in October 1902. Amongst his various offices he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the part-time Forfar and Kincardine Artillery Militia in 1872 and steadily progressed through the officer ranks until he became the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1894 with the honorary rank of Colonel. He retired from the command in 1906. He also served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Angus Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire from 5 January 1900. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for Aberdeenshire and for Angus. In 1905 he succeeded his father as the 10th Earl of Southesk who had restored the family titles with the original precedence by reversal of the 1715 Act of Attainder in 1855. He had the reputation of being the best game shot in Scotland. In 1921 Kinnaird Castle which was situated in one of the grandest Scottish glens and was the seat of the Earls of Southesk for more than 600 years burnt to the ground. "Only a small part of the servant's wing has escaped. A considerable part of the library was saved but many books impossible to replace as well as Raeburn's portrait of Lady Carnegie valued at £10000 were lost." Lord Southesk rebuilt the castle. A prominent art collector he owned "a large collection of paintings by old masters and antique gems." Source: Wikipedia hardcover
