What a C.V. he had. Here is a glance. He joined the British Army in 1801 and fought in the Peninsular War, and the Third Anglo-Maratha War where he was severely injured with seven dagger wounds which resulted in the loss of the use of his right arm. He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath (CB) in October 1818. In 1822, he inherited his father’s baronetcy and became the next Clan Chief of Clan Gregor. It was also in 1822 that he suggested the formation of the Clan Gregor Society and he led Clan Gregor up the Royal Mile for the visit of King George IV to present the Royal Honours of Scotland. He was the Permanent Secretary of the Admiralty. He was appointed at Aide de Camp to King George the IV in 1825.
