Biography

The Duke is the elder child and only son of Ian Campbell, 12th and 5th Duke of Argyll and Iona Mary Colquhoun, daughter of Sir Ivar Colquhoun, 8th Baronet.[1] He was educated at Cargilfield Preparatory School, Glenalmond College, and the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. At the latter, he trained as a chartered surveyor.[2]

The Duke (then Lord Lorne) served as a Page of Honour to Queen Elizabeth II from 1981 to 1983,[3][4] and subsequently became a sales agent, salesman and company manager. Among his 29 titles are: Master of the Royal Household of Scotland,[5] Admiral of the Western Coasts and Isles, and the Chief of Clan Campbell.

The Duke is the captain of Scotland's national elephant polo team which won the 2004 and 2005 World Elephant Polo Association World Championships.[6][7] He represents Pernod Ricard distillers, promoting Scotch whiskies.[8] He is a Freeman of the City of London and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Distillers.

She is the daughter of Peter Hugh George Cadbury (previously Chairman of Close Brothers Corporate Finance)[9] and his wife Sally Strouvelle.[10]
