Old travel Blog photograph of St Ninians Square in Brechin, Angus, Scotland. The granite fountain in memory of Fox Maule Ramsay was moved to St Ninians Square from its original position in front of the Mechanics Institute. Fox Maule Ramsay, 11th Earl of Dalhousie, born 22 April 1801, died 6 July 1874, known as Fox Maule before 1852, as The Lord Panmure between 1852 and 1860, was a British politician. He married the daughter of George Abercromby, 2nd Baron Abercromby, in 1831. They had no children. She died in November 1853, aged 46. Lord Dalhousie died July 1874, aged 73. On his death, the barony of Panmure became extinct, but the earldom of Dalhousie, and its subsidiary titles, passed to his cousin, George Ramsay.
