Matthew, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/37636, accessed 10 June 2017]; Other sources suggest that George Kinloch's father George Oliphant Kinloch sold his Clashbenie estate in order to repurchase the Kinloch estate from his cousin William Kinloch. This second version appears to be sourced from Alex J. Warden Angus or Forfarshire, the land and people, descriptive and historical Vol. IV (1884) p. 341.
