The name is more commonly found represented as Strang. John Strang received some of the lands of Balcaskie, owned by Richard Anstruther, whose sister he married in 1362. Then followed a long line of baronets of the same name, John Strang of Balcaskie recieved the lands of Ewingston in 1482, John Strang was slain at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547, and in 1615, John Strang sold the estate and became a colonel in Cochrane's Scots Regiment. Sir Robert Strange, who descended from a younger son of the house of Balcaskie, after a breif naval career returned home to Scotland, and when, in 1745, the Jacobite amry entered Edinburgh, Sir Robert was appointed to the Prince's Life Guard, with whom he served until after the defeat of Culloden after which he spent several months as a fugitive before returning to Edinburgh to live out his life in obscurity. privacy notice  |  shipping  |  conditions  |  contact  |  imprint  |  © 2012 Kilts & More
