7° The Lanarkshire and Renfrezvshire Hunt. 



Colonel T. S. G. H. ROBERTSON-AIKMAN. 



Colonel Thomas Robertson-Aikman was born in i860, and has for the 

 greater part of his life taken a prominent part in several branches of sport, 

 having at the same time the warmest side to hunting either with foxhounds 

 or harriers. His appointment as Master on the retiral of Major Andrew 

 Coats in 1896 gave general satisfaction, and his outstanding abilities as a 

 judge of hounds were reflected in the kennels during the time he had charge 

 of affairs. At Peterborough Hound Show Colonel Aikman secured many 

 honours with harriers, and during his term of Mastership he gained premier 

 position with Resolute and Rival as the best couple of doghounds in the 

 first class against a big entry from South country packs. He has always 

 been recognised as one of the finest judges of foxhounds and harriers in the 

 Kingdom. Genial and courteous in the field, the Colonel at once became 

 popular with all classes of followers, but since his retirement from the 

 Mastership in 1901 he has been seldom seen out with the pack.
