Colonel Sir Bryce Muir Knox of Glengarnock and Redhugh KCVO MC (4 April 1916 – 22 November 2003) was a Scottish soldier, business man, and Lord lieutenant of Ayrshire.
During the Italian campaign, he was awarded the Military Cross for "complete disregard for personal safety" and his "devotion to duty, courage and judgment" in a battle north of Arezzo in July 1944.
Within three months he received a bar to the medal for his part in defeating an enemy attack on a tactical headquarters, including the evacuation of the wounded under fire.
[1][4] He farmed his land near Ayr, and in 1990 was elected as president of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, succeeding George Younger.
