| Notes |
- Anniston, standing ¾ mile SE of the village, is the seat of Lieut.-Col. Arthur John Rait, C. B. (b. 1839; suc. 1877), who owns 978 acres in the shire, valued at £2744 per annum
Arthur John Rait, the eldest child of James and Clementina Rait, and the last male Rait owner of Anniston House and supposed to be the representative of the Hallgreen branch, was born there on 17 May 1839, and died with "startling suddeness" on 13 June 1902. He had boarded the train at Inverkeilor for Barry, but midway between Inverkeilor and Cauldcots he was taken very ill. He was removed from the train at Cauldcots station and taken to the waiting room where he died almost immediately. The cause was established as heart disease. His moveable estate was valued at over £17.000.
Like his father Arthur had a military career
