ROBERT BUCHANAN, GEORGE BUCHANAN, JUN., and ANDREW BUCHANAN, JUN
ROBERT BUCHANAN, GEORGE BUCHANAN, JUN., and ANDREW BUCHANAN, JUN. - Of these signatories, George and Andrew were sons of Andrew of Auchintorlie and Hillington. Robert's address is given in Tait with Andrew and George, east side of Jamaica Street. George was one of the earliest feuars in that street, and built the mansion which has been recently replaced by Arnott's warehouse. Andrew Buchanan, jun., lived to be the venerable Andrew of Ardenconnel, who died in 1835, aged 90. He married a daughter of James Dennistoun of Colgrain, and he and his father-in-law established the famous old business of Dennistoun, Buchanan & Co. We believe that Mr. Dennistoun and George Oswald of Scotstoun were partners in the still older firm of Oswald, Dennistoun & Co. Ardenconnal's town house of 1800 is still standing at the south-west corner of Montrose Street. It has been occupied as a banking establishment, a School of Design, and is now the office of the sanitary staff.
