Historic as Earls of Orkney and Zetland this family has produced more Generals,
Admirals and Parliamentarians through the centuries than any family in the land.
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Governor of Bombay (Deputy Viceroy of India) and
other high-sounding and colourful, powerful positions prove a proud record.
The astonishing family record of Tennis Championship is maintained by the
present Marquess, a Cambridge “Blue” with a Wimbledon-playing father. The
present Lord Zetland is also a Steward of England’s great Jockey Club, which
decides the fate of Thoroughbred horse racing worldwide.
