Baron Rowallan

He had previously represented Glasgow Tradeston in the House of Commons.

His son, the second Baron, fought in both World Wars, was Chief Scout and served as Governor of Tasmania.

As of 2022[update] the title is held by the latter's grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1993.

The family seat was initially Rowallan Castle, near Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire.

The fourth Baron now resides at Meikle Mosside Farm, near Fenwick, Ayrshire, which may now be regarded as the family seat.
