Reginald MacLeod of MacLeod

In the 1885 general election, he stood unsuccessfully for the Conservatives in Inverness-shire losing the seat to an Independent Liberal.In 1889, he became the Queen's and Lord Treasurer's Remembrancer, an office of the Court of the Exchequer which was originally concerned with the recovery of dues, penalties, and debts owed to the Crown.After a further unsuccessful attempt to be elected to Parliament in 1911 he retired from public life and became a director of Shell, the first of several directorships he held.An expert from the Victoria and Albert Museum discussed with Sir Reginald the possible origins of the flag, avoiding reference to the supernatural.His daughter Olive was noted for her journey of 3,700 miles (6,000 km) into the heart of Africa in 1910–1911 to visit her fiancé's grave.
