She is better known as "Duchess Blair" because of her first marriage to Captain Arthur Kindersely Blair of the 71st Highland Light Infantry, who died in a hunting accident in 1883 near Pitlochry. Sutherland is a registration county, lieutenancy area and historic administrative county of Scotland. It is now within the Highland local government area.
