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.)
