Sir Alexander Ogilvy of Auchterhouse

"...The gallant sheriff's eldest son, Sir Alexander Ovilvy of Auchterhouse, was "the gracious gud Lord Ogilvey" of the Ballad of Harlaw:

For faith and magnanimity
He had few fellows in the field,
Yet fell by fatal destiny,
For he nae ways wad grant to yield.

"In that tremendous conflict north of Aberdeen against Donald of the Isles in 1411, Sir Alexander and his eldest son, George Ogilvy, were among the slain."
