Notes |
- He was a magistrate for Linlithgowshire and a member of the House of Nobles in
Sweden.
He was also the owner of Hiltly, county Linlithgow, and of two plantations in Ceylon. In 1879 he was made a 'Hofjagmastare' by Oscar, king of Sweden, an office which somewhat corresponds to the Master of Buckhounds, and confers the rank of Colonel ; and in 1892 was created a Knight of the Order of the Wasa.
Ekolsund is noted for its wild swans. When the Prince of Wales was in Sweden in 1885 he paid a visit to Colonel Seton, along with King Oscar and the Crown Prince, and enjoyed a day's sport.
