The Secret Case of the Transgender Baronet - Craigievar Castle Scotland
When the 19th Lord Sempill and owner of Craigievar Castle in Svotland died in 1965, he was survived by three female childreh There were two parts of the title and estates that stood to be inherited. The Barony couldbe passed to either a male orafemalestle heir and thus passed to Lord Sempill's eldest daughter. The baronetcy, however, which included the bulk of the estate's land, could only be passed to a male heir. Ewan was one of Lord Sempill's siblings and a trans man.
Ewan's cousin John contested the baronetcy passing to Ewan on the grounds that he did not believe the re-registration of his birth was valid and that his cousin Ewan was still legally a woman. The case was taken to the Court of Session, in secret.

      @philipdurling1964 all true…as was his equally inept ability being a military leader. Lots of bad strategic decisions… I don’t personally think m it was his advisors fault that the Crown Jewels were lost, but there are a lot of aspects of King John historians like to argue about. 💚
