James Ochoncar Forbes 17th Lord Forbes 1765-1843
James Ochoncar, the 17th Lord Forbes, regarded by the family as perhaps the most “relevant” ancestor for the building of the present Castle Forbes and planting many of the trees that still stand on Forbes Estate, was an officer in the Coldstream Regiment of Foot Guards for 26 years, rising to the rank of General. He served as second in command of the British Mediterranean forces in Sicily in 1808 before commanding the Cork and Eastern Districts in Ireland. It was during his time in Ireland that the present Castle Forbes was built near Alford on the site of the old family home of Putachie.

Sir Robert Harry Inglis, 2nd Bt 1786-1855
After studying at Oxford, Inglis travelled extensively, and cultivated literary, historical, and scientific interests, becoming a fellow of the Royal Society and a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He was involved with numerous philanthropic, religious and educational societies, and over his lifetime published many devotional works and parliamentary speeches. He was elected as an MP in 1824 and the defence of Protestantism and the Anglican Church dominated his parliamentary life. He was opposed to measures that he thought weakened the Church and strenuously opposed the Catholic Relief Bill of 1829. He also strongly identified himself with Irish Protestant interests and with the cause of the Church of Ireland.
