1667). George Senior's son, another Robert, was Dean of Guild in 1728. He purchased Easter Daldowie in 1724. Robert died in 1734 and the George Bogle of this article took possession of Daldowie (and also lands at Whiteinch). A house is marked at Daldowie on Timothy Pont's manuscript of 1596, published in 1654 at Amsterdam but this was not suitable for a man of George Senior's status. By 1745 he had erected in its stead a magnificent mansion (later much extended). In that year, Bonnie Prince Charlie was in Glasgow with his army and on Christmas Day sent a George (like most of the local gentry, reluctant to support this rebellion) a demand for hay, oats and straw for his horses "under pain of military execution". The Highlanders who came to collect the supplies, also stole some horses and abused George's servants. George complained to the Prince, and received from him, on the 29th, a warrant "to protect and defend the estate, house and horses of George Bogle, Jnr, of Daldowie". Later, the family went to Bothwell Bridge to see the Prince and his army pass. George's elder daughter described Charles as "a fine looking young man, with long fair hair". George Bogle of Daldowie married Anne Sinclair (connected to an influential Lord of Session – and, distantly, to Oliver Cromwell) – in 1731, by whom he had three sons and four daughters. The youngest son was a third George Bogle, (born 1747) who used family connections, and the influence of Henry Dundas, to get a position as private secretary to Warren Hastings of the British East India Company. This latter George Bogle was asked by Warren Hastings to lead an expedition from Calcutta to Tibet in an effort to get the Lama to persuade the Chinese Emperor to establish ties with Britain. He established good relations with the Lamas and even had two daughters, Martha and Mary, by a princess of Tibet, one of the Lama's daughters. These two daughters were later sent to Scotland to be educated. Bogle's diary was later sent by Warren Hastings to Dr Samuel Johnson in London to be published. He died, young and unmarried, in Calcutta in 1781.
