		LORD Polwarth came from a distinguished Scottish family who can trace their origins back to the late 17th century: the first Lord Polwarth resided in the Borders and the connection with the area is maintained with much fortitude to this day.
		Polwarth showed typical flair at accepting the new disciplines and his enthusiasm and energy ensured he was promoted to the staff of the mercurial General Sir Brian Horrocks.
		Polwarth was a dedicated supporter of the arts and acted as a most enthusiastic chairman of Scottish National Orchestra (1975-79) and, it is thought, he brought a touch of realism to their somewhat shaky finances.
