Patrick Milne

He commissioned the design of two houses, both called Crimonmogate, one in central Aberdeen, the other on his estate in Lonmay, Aberdeenshire.

Milne and Crombie continued trying to bribe Rae and confined him in Lord Kintore's residence in the days prior to the election.

[1][11] Lord Kintore died just before the elections in 1812 but was believed to support Milne as candidate for the Elgin burghs that year.

Milne was duly elected as member of Parliament for Elgin Burghs on 30 October 1812, a position he held until 11 July 1818.

[1][12] Milne commissioned Archibald Simpson, an Aberdeen architect in similar standing to John Smith, to design a new mansion for his Crimonmogate estate.

[1] Bannerman had an obelisk monument erected in Milne's memory in the garden at Crimonmogate in 1821, which was given a category B listing by Historic Scotland.
