Lord Elcho - from a photograph by John Watkins, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Lord Elcho - from a photograph by John Watkins, 1860. The active and prominent part which Lord Elcho has taken in the promotion of the volunteer movement is well known. With this object in view the noble Lord has during this year entirely forsaken the arena of Parliament, where he was not an undistinguished member, having been in the habit from time to time of bringing on motions which were of sufficient importance in their nature to excite attention and demand debate. The latest instance was in August last, when he introduced the subject of foreign policy, and brought together the last full House of the Session...In 1847 he was returned for Haddingtonshire, for which he has since sat. In 1852 he accepted the office of a Lord of the Treasury in Lord Aberdeen's Government, and filled the same office under Lord Palmerston, on the 5th of February, 1855, but resigned on the 21st of that month, on the retirement of what is called the Peelite section from the Ministry of that noble Lord, since which his tendencies have been rather towards the Conservatives as a party'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Elcho, as captured in this striking photograph by John Watkins in 1860, stands as a testament to a distinguished political career marked by dedication and conviction. The nobleman's active involvement in the volunteer movement of the time is well documented, leading him to abandon his role in Parliament where he had been an effective and influential member. Known for bringing important motions to the floor, his latest initiative in August 1860 focused on foreign policy, drawing together the last full House of the Session. Lord Elcho's political journey began in 1847 when he was elected as the representative for Haddingtonshire, a position he has held ever since. In 1852, he joined Lord Aberdeen's Government, serving as a Lord of the Treasury. He continued in this role under Lord Palmerston until February 1855, when he resigned following the departure of the Peelite section from the Ministry. Since then, his political leanings have leaned more towards the Conservative party. This photograph, published in the Illustrated London News in 1860, offers a glimpse into the life and career of a man who dedicated himself to the political arena, leaving a lasting impact on the issues of his time.
