Where or what is Zetland?

It's another spelling of Shetland. Mintguy 10:35, 5 Oct 2003 (UTC)

In connection with steamboats I've put together a page for Lord Dundas referring to Thomas, Lord Dundas of Aske, (February 16, 1741 - June 14, 1820, became Baron Dundas of Aske in August 1794). The page used to redirect here, so there's a cross reference. Chap sounds rather like Lawrence Dundas, 1st Baron Dundas of Aske (1741-1820) on this list - any relation? - dave souza 21:59, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

The Lawrence Dundas, 1st Baron Dundas of Aske is an error, my error in fact, or possibly from wherever I sourced it. He should be Thomas Dundas, 1st Baron Dundas and he is your man above. He should be moved from Lord Dundas and Lord Dundas returned to a redirect here . Which I will now do. Mintguy (T) 08:29, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Succession

The heir apparent has no male heir nor does his brother afaik. It seems that Lord David Dundas and his two sons are the eventual heirs to the titles. Unless someone knows differentlyAlci12 17:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

In fact, Lord James Edward Dundas has a son, Milo James, b. 21 may 1998.

[edit] Shetland

"The family seat is Aske Hall, Richmond, North Yorkshire."

Good to see that they are putting so much back into the Shetland community...--MacRusgail (talk) 14:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
