The death, without an heir, of Walter Garnet Rait in 1900 (shortly before his father), brought to an end this direct male line of descent of the major stem of the Rait family, itself a branch of the Raits of Hallgreen in the Mearns.3.

She did not marry and according to the local newspapers the lamented demise of the singularly affable and accomplished young proprietrix of the estate of Anniston cast quite a gloom over the eastern part of Forfarshire, the circumstance being of an exceptionally sad nature.
