John Maclellan, 3rd Lord Kirkcudbright

John Maclellan, 3rd Lord Kirkcudbright (died 1664) was a Scottish nobleman and royalist.

History

Maclellan, like his father Lord Kirkcudbright (whose titles he inherited in 1647), was an ardent Covenanter; he raised levies for the king which he used in the raid on Whigamore in 1648.

A zealous Royalist, John Maclellan insisted his vassals take up arms in the cause of the King, during the course of which from 1640 the villages of Dunrod and Galtway were much depleted.

Lord Kirkcudbright, along with Major General James Holburn, was appointed as a deputation from the Committee of Estates to meet with Oliver Cromwell at Seaton and accompany him to Edinburgh.

Lord Kirkcudbright's regiment, which had been sent to Ireland, was on 6 December attacked by the English Parliamentary forces, nearly being cut to pieces.

The lands to which this Lord Kirkcudbright succeeded were extensive, but his loyalty in raising and furnishing forces during the English civil war, for which he, like so many other royalists, received no remuneration, impoverished his estate.

gollark: What was wrong with `u64` or something?

gollark: ```c typedef uint64_t c3_d; // double-word typedef int64_t c3_ds; // signed double-word typedef uint32_t c3_w; // word typedef int32_t c3_ws; // signed word typedef uint16_t c3_s; // short typedef int16_t c3_ss; // signed short typedef uint8_t c3_y; // byte typedef int8_t c3_ys; // signed byte typedef uint8_t c3_b; // bit```Wow, this is HIGHLY readable.

gollark: Urbit contains C code for purposes, I assume.

gollark: I do not, however, have any idea why, since I only changed the multicast address.

gollark: Remember how a while ago I was working on a multicast-based chat thing which mysteriously failed and lead me to complain about POSIX or whatever's socket API? I found a random stackoverflow question which prompted me to change one line and it somewhat works now.
