From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam Haldane-Duncan, 2nd Earl of Camperdown (25 March 1812–30 January 1867), styled Viscount Duncan between 1831 and 1859, was a British nobleman and politician. He first entered parliament as a member for Southampton in 1837, which seat he held until 1841 when he exchanged it for Bath. He was briefly out of parliament between 1852 and 1854, when he was returned again, this time for Forfarshire. He held this seat until he was elevated to the House of Lords in 1859 on the death of his father, the first earl.

Lord Camperdown died on January 30, 1867, at the age of 54.
