Earl of Thomas Barnes Cochrane Dundonald

Thomas Barnes Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald, was born on April 14, 1814, and died on January 15, 1885. He was the son of Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, the celebrated naval commander and radical politician whose exploits made the family name famous far beyond Britain.

He served in the British Army and reached the rank of captain. In 1860 he succeeded his father as Earl of Dundonald, and later represented the Scottish peerage in the House of Lords from 1879 until his death.

He is also remembered as the author associated with The Life of Thomas, Lord Cochrane, Tenth Earl of Dundonald, helping preserve the story of his father’s extraordinary career for later readers. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources I checked, so none is included here.
