Lour, a mansion in Forfar parish, Forfarshire, 4 miles SSE of the town. It was built by one of the Earls of Northesk, whose descendant, Captain Patrick Alexander Watson Carnegy of Lour and Turin (b. 1836; suc. 1838), holds 4206 acres in the shire, valued at £5025 per annum. A lake was once on the estate, but has been completely drained; and a moor on it, within Inverarity parish, has remains of a Roman camp.—Ord. Sur., sh. 57, 1868.
