Innes

Innes, Cosmo (1798-1874), advocate, historian, and antiquary, born at the old manor-house of Durris, on Deeside, son of the Laird of Leuchars, was a sedulous contributor to the publications of the Bannatyne, Maitland, and Spalding Societies, editing many old cartularies. In 1840 he served as sheriff of Moray, and being in 1846 elected to the (then unpaid) chair of history at Edinburgh, proved a successful lecturer, and wrote a valuable work on early Scotch history.
