He currently lives on the Isle of Arran, Scotland.

Grant de Longueuil married Isabel Padua,[1] born in the Philippines and of mixed Spanish and Filipino origin. Together, they have three children:

Family seat
The Barons de Longueuil have not lived in Canada for several generations, having lived in Scotland and France and, in the 1970s, in Luzon, Philippines.[3]
The original seigneury was sold[4] in the early 1800s. The Kingston home of the barons, Alwington House, was sold out of the family in 1910.[5] In 1993, the current baron and his wife visited the Longueuil Castle or Ardath Castle grounds on Wolfe Island, Ontario, without making any claim to them.[6] Ardath Castle had been in the family as early as 1795, when the Grant family purchased lands in the area.[7]
