But many of those who had ridden the storm, the Dennistouns, Campbells, Bogles, Hamiltons - drifted into the West India trade. Among them were Findlay, Hopkirk and Company; and to this West India connection of theirs, their successors owe their present hold of the sugar trade. Both Robert Findlay and James Hopkirk left a tradition of public service which their ancestors have faithfully kept up. ….To James Hopkirk, we mainly owed besides other ?boons/ loons, the Barony Kirk, Norman’s Barony, a thing of beauty which our tasteless age has swept away. In 1802, Robert Findlay died in the prime of life. The Hopkirks thereafter retired and Findlay, Hopkirk and Company re-appeared as Findlay, Duff & Co….
