EDITORS COMMENTS
Lord Elcho, the 11th Earl of Wemyss and 7th Earl of March, is depicted in this striking photograph from the pages of Vanity Fair magazine. Born in 1857, Hugo Richard Charteris was a prominent Scottish Conservative politician who held various titles and offices throughout his illustrious career. From 1883 to 1914, he was known as Lord Elcho. The image captures him in the height of fashionable attire, donning a top hat and a finely tailored suit, with a confident and assertive expression. The backdrop of Derby Day adds an air of excitement and elegance to the scene. Lord Elcho's political career began in earnest when he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Ayr Burghs in 1885. He went on to hold several important positions within the Conservative Party, including Under-Secretary of State for Scotland and Lord Privy Seal. Despite his political successes, Lord Elcho's personal life was not without controversy. He was known for his extravagant lifestyle and was involved in several scandals, including a notorious duel with the Marquess of Queensberry in 1897. This photograph, taken during the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent Scottish Conservative politician and the opulence of the time. Lord Elcho's legacy continues to be celebrated in Scottish history, and this image serves as a testament to his enduring impact.
