From my understanding of the collaterals the new baron has no
children unless the 2008 edition has more info, Ian Angus Dundas b 72
seems to be the only viable male heir, but from my info he is not
married, unless anyone has info to the contrary?

Good news, marquess. According to the 2008 edition. the new Baron, who
married (for the second time) in 2003, has twins born July 31, 2004.
The boy, named Sebastian, becomes the new heir apparent.
