Biographical history
Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird, 10th Lord Kinnaird, was born on July 8, 1814, in Rossie Priory, Perthshire, Scotland.
He was a Scottish banker and Liberal politician. He rose to become managing partner of Ransom, Bouverie & Co., a banking firm. He continued in this role once he was elected to Parliament for Perth (1837-1839; 1852-1878). In 1847, Kinnaird represented the British Association for the Relief of Distress in Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland, in distributing relief to the Scottish poor. He was treasurer of the Highland Emigration Fund. In 1868, he was elected as President of the National Bible Society of Scotland. He was also a keen farmer and, in 1862, installed a Turkish bath for cattle at his Millhill Farm at Inchture, raising the temperature higher than usual and successfully using it in the treatment of distemper.
In 1843, he married Mary Jane Hoare, 10th Countess Kinnaird (1816–1888). He died on April 26, 1887, in London, England.
