Edmund Chisholm Batten

Edmund Chisholm Batten (sometimes written Chisholm-Batten) FRSE (1817-1897) was an antiquarian and author of legal treatises.

[1] He was educated at Sherborne School, where he was Head Boy, and then sent north to Edinburgh to train as a barrister.

He also (through his wife) inherited Erchless Castle, home to the chief of the Clan Chisholm.

From 1858, on the death of the clan chief, his sister inherited all titles and estates and from thence onward he was known as Edmund Chisholm Batten.

From 1858 until 1896 he made annual trips to the Highlands of Scotland with his wife, in the role of visiting the Clan Chisholm.
