I was tagged by the ever-lovely @beanmoreau and since I’ve been conspiciously absent lately I thought I should actually maybe respond!

@beanmoreau so you’ve got archibald kennedy who became the 11th earl of cassilis, he was born in america because his father was a tax-collector for the british govt. but he came to culzean to manage the estate when his second cousin, ultimate bachelor david the 10th earl, died.  his son, archibald kennedy the 12th earl, was very friendly with william iv and was always looking to socally elevate himself.  eventually he became the first marquess of ailsa in 1831, a title which the kennedys still hold today.  archibald kennedy (son of the first marquess) sadly pre-deceased his father, so after the first marquess died, his grandson, archibald kennedy, became the second marquess of ailsa.  the third marquess, archibald, loved yachting and started a ship-building company which moved between various placed and can now be found locally at troon, the ailsa shipbuilding company.  archibald the fourth marquess began negotiations to hand over culzean and its many surrounding acres of land to the national trust in 1945.  the present marquess of ailsa is the 9th and he is not called archibald although he does have a son called archie (i’m told).

Jes is a* at making sweet pancakes but he'll only do so for wylan (and Kuwei) because he gotta protect that street cred yo. ..he really likes being able to spoil him with good breakfasts and yes they are ofc in lots of shapes to match his boy(s). (And there's always at least one heart shaped one) but sshhhh no one can know.
