The arms are those of Buchanan for Robert Buchanan Dunlop of Househill, who succeeded to the estate of Drumhead as heir of entail in right of his mother upon assuming the name and arms of Buchanan. The insignia on the cover is that of the London and Westminster Lighthorse Volunteers, raised at the time of Lord George Gordon Riots, of which Buchanan was lieutenant colonel. He married in 1805 Francis, 7th daughter of Samuel Beachcroft Esq. of Wickham Court, Kent, and Director of the Bank of England. Buchanan died in 1837.
