Biography

Anne Baillie (1809-1847) was the daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel John Baillie of Leys (1772-1833), Member of Parliament and East India Company Official, and his second wife "Lulu Begum", a lady of high standing from the court of Awadh, who entered the marriage with her own fortune. Anne was born in India, baptized at Lucknow, and later brought to Scotland for her education. She married John Frederick Baillie of Dochfour and had two sons, John Baillie (1835-1890) and Alexander (1837-1917). Anne was the main heir upon her father's death, despite John having older sons by an earlier marriage. She inherited Leys Castle in Invernesshire and its lands, with the Lucknow jewels of her mother and the Arabic and Persian manuscript collection that her father had brought back from South Asia entailed as heirlooms. Anne and her husband are said to have lived a "... retired domestic life.." at Leys Castle "... planting and improving the surrounding grounds."
