Lord Colin Campbell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
by Giovanni Boldini
Lord Colin Campbell (9 March 1853-18 June 1895 Bombay[1]), was a Scottish politician.
Campbell was the fifth son of George Campbell, 8th Duke of Argyll, and his wife Lady Elizabeth Georgiana, daughter of George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, 2nd Duke of Sutherland. He entered Parliament for Argyllshire in 1878, a seat he held until 1885.
Campbell married Gertrude Elizabeth Blood, daughter of Edmund Maghlin Blood, in 1881. They had no children and were separated in 1884 with an acrimonious legal battle in 1886, resulting in Gertrude's being denied a divorce. Campbell died in Bombay in June 1895, aged 42. Gertrude Elizabeth became a well-known socialite, writer and wit. She died in November 1911.
