Ninth Generation
Colonel Edward Donald Malcolm , XVI of Poltalloch, C.B. (1881), b. 13 Nov
1837, d. 20 Mar 1930. Education: Royal Military Academy. Public office: D.L.
(Argyllshire), J.P. (Argyllshire), Boundary Commissioner for Scotland, engineer
to Secretary of Scotland for piers and harbours (West Highlands and Islands,
1890 - 1892); m. 17 Jul 18673 Isabella Wyld Brown (daughter of John Wyld
Brown), d. 3 Mar 1927.
Colonel Edward Malcolm was a Royal Engineer who served in India (during the
Mutiny), China and Canada.
Edward raised dogs that became the West Highland White Terrier breed, although he took none of the credit unto himself.
He had kept a pack of light colored working terriers for hunting. As the legend goes, a reddish dog of his,
emerging from cover, was mistakenly shot for a fox. Malcolm is said to have
decided on the spot to breed only for white dogs that could be identified .
