Lord Ninian Crichton-Stuart (1883–1915) was the second son of the third Marquess of Bute. He inherited the Falkland Estate from his father, becoming Laird of Falkland when he came of age in 1904. He and his wife lived for a time in the House of Falkland. He died in action at the Battle of Loos.
“Having bound myself to provide landed property of a certain value for my younger sons, Ninian and Colum, I looked for places which I might play with during my own life and leave to them afterwards. Hence Falkland and Pluscarden.”[1]
