Major John Alexander MacLaren Stewart, 14th of Ardvorlich (25 March 1904 – 11 May 1985) was a Scottish military officer, historian and the author of several authoritative works on the history of various Scottish clans.
[3] He has also produced a History of the Ardvorlich Stewarts, his own direct family, which was published privately and its copies never offered to the general public, or even to specialised researchers.
Family members are rather secretive about it, with outsiders being only shown "select pages" of the book.
In an age when the reputation of many great public figures, and, alas, that of most of the Scottish nobility, were sullied by deeds of violence, and often, deeds of blackest treachery, it is refreshing to find that the Grahams stand out as loyal and true to the causes they espoused.
Their story is not one of a rapid rise to power through the Royal favour, or even at the expense of their peers, but rather a gradual but steady rise based on their undoubted ability and worthiness which seems to have endured from one generation to another.Stewart married Violet Hermione Cameron, eldest daughter of Sir Donald Walter Cameron of Lochiel and Lady Hermione (née Graham), daughter of the 5th Duke of Montrose.
