The elder son of Robin Compton, of Newby, is heir to his uncle, Alwyne
Farquharson of Invercauld, and the chieftainship of that clan, and
will probably assume the surname of Farquharson when he succeeds.
Robin Compton's 2nd son is now running Newby Hall.

The Farquarson estate of Invercauld near Braemar consists of some 200
sq miles of land which includes a large mansion.
The family owns 5,000 acres of Surrey, plus 25,000 acres in the
Midlands, giving a total wealth of £100m in land alone. Aside from the
Sevso hoard, Northampton's family has art treasures in both his
stately homes, conservatively valued at £100m. But the huge legal
costs in establishing ownership of the Sevso treasure - the Hungarian,
Lebanese and Yugoslavian governments were among those contesting
ownership - Received opinion is that Lord Northampton's heir will, on
succession, be worth in the region of £200m.
