Barred From Wemyss Castle In Late Will's Sharp Clause
The will of Randolph Gordon Erskine Wemyss of Wemyss Castle bars his eldest son Michael John Wemyss from life interest if he allows his mother Lady Lilian Wemyss to enter the castle. The clause extends to all Paulet birth members, with the son in naval service until age thirty. Eva Cowley, the late lord’s second wife, receives generous provisions, while his daughter gets a small annuity. Wemyss Castle has stood with the Wemyss line for seven centuries, and the Norway Bowl, a key heirloom, remains its treasured artifact.
