His first cousin once removed John (age 67) succeeded 11th Duke Atholl, 12th Marquess Atholl, 13th Earl Atholl, 14th Earl Tullibardine, 7th Baron Glenlyon of Glenlyon in Perthshire. The day before the death of the 10th Duke, it was announced that he had given Blair Castle and most of his estates to a charitable trust, thus effectively disinheriting his heir. The new duke stated "I never harboured any aspirations to inherit the estate; I am happy that the land has gone into a charitable trust", "I have a simple lifestyle and will not make myself ridiculous with a title that does not fit my scene. It means nothing in South Africa, and it certainly means nothing to me here. I have Scottish blood in my veins, but no Scottish culture." and ""My life is here, ... I respect and honour Scotland as the land of my origins, but I would never want to live there. I am a South African, not a Scotsman. My heart and my mind are in this country."
