    Alexander Baillie of Dunain married, 24th June, 1737, Anne, third daughter of Sir Archibald Campbell of Clunes, contract signed at Calder. There was this curious connection, Magdalen and Alexander Baillie, sister and brother, married Sir Archibald and Anne Campbell, father and daughter. Alexander Baillies marriage was a happy one, for, writing from Dunain, 5th March, 1738, he gleefully writes that he had come home with ?250 of tocher in his pocket, acknowledging at same time his thankfulness for " a good wife; " and in his letters to India to his sons, William and John, he refers most affectionately to their mother as his only comfort and support.

    Alexander Baillie of Dunain took no part in the Rising of 1745, further than by doing what he could to succour quietly distressed Jacobites, and the shelter and nourishment afforded by the " Soul Mor" of Dunain was constantly spoken of in my younger days

    Alexander Baillie had two sons, William, John, who succeeded his brother, and two daughters. The eldest, Anne, married her cousin, Dr George Baillie of Leys, and the youngest, Nellie, married, as his second wife, Dr John Alves of Shipland. The boys were educated at King's College, Aberdeen, under Principal Jack and Professor Leslie, letters from both, in the year 1756, being very complimentary to the young students.
