About James Angus Graham, 7th Duke of Montrose

https://peeragenews.blogspot.com/2014/07/mary-duchess-of-roxburghe-...

"I was born in the United Kingdom and lived most of my life in Southern Africa. I was educated at Eton and studied at Christ Church, Oxford. I was first married to Isobel and married secondly Susan Mary Joclyn Semple of Kenya

I took an active interest in politics. In the 1930s I attended a Nuremberg Rally. I was a Member of Parliament at the break up of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. I am one of the signatories of the Rhodesian Declaration of Independence, signed in Salisbury, on November 11, 1965. I signed it 'Montrose'. I had cabinet portfolios as Minister of Agriculture and latterly Minister of Defence in Ian Smith's Rhodesian Front government.

Several years later, in a dispute with Smith over the negotiations between the South African Government and Rhodesia regarding Black Majority Rule for Rhodesia, I resigned from the cabinet, and from government. My family and I moved to South Africa in 1979 and then to Scotland where I spent his final days. Always a keen Gaelic speaker with a great fondness for the Highlands and islands of Scotland, I lye buried in the family cemetery near Loch Lomond."
