Category:Haldane family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is difficult to trace the Haldane Family roots back to one source, however, most information points back to Gleneagles, the ancestral residence of the family. Records show a presence here since 1265. Others, however, trace the aristocratic House of Haldane back to Admiral Adam Duncan, the famous Naval hero and compatriot to Lord Nelson. Admiral Duncan was born and raised in Scotland and later founded the city of Dundee around his Camperdown Estate. With an extensive endowment bequeathed in Duncan's will, his estate was converted into a large park and nature reserve.
