Biographical Note

Son of James Sutherland, 2nd Lord Duffus of Duffus Castle, Moray, from whom he inherited the title and family estates in 1705. After involvement in the 1715 Jacobite uprising, he fled to Sweden, and the title and estates were attainted and forfeit to the Crown. He then served as a vice-admiral in the Russian navy.

The title was formally restored in the 19th century.
