Alien by the law of Scotland cannot succeed to heritage in Scotland, and he was deemed an alien, he and his father being born in Germany, though his grandfather was a Scotsman; found unanimously; and a particular factory to uplift the rents and let the lands, whereof the right was quarrelled by the Count, found a sufficient title to make the objection; but the substitute heirs in that right were thought to have no sufficient title. Vide Case of Captain Gordon of Park, voce Tailzie. (See Dict. No. 2. p. 4636.)

See No. 3. and No. 21. voce Executor.
