Roderick Stirling of Fairburn

Captain Sir Roderick William Kenneth Stirling of Fairburn, KCVO, TD (1932–2007) was a Scottish landowner, local politician and company director.

Born on 17 June 1932, Stirling's father was the Scottish soldier and politician Sir John Stirling.[1]

After completing National Service with the Scots Guards in 1952, Stirling was commissioned as an officer in the Territorial Army, serving until 1969.[1] He also studied agriculture at the University of Aberdeen and, after graduating, went to manage his family's estate at Urray, Muir of Ord, in 1960;[2] as The Times summarised, he "personified the old tradition of the Highland laird who combines the privilege of land ownership with a strong obligation of public service".[3] Stirling also held directorships in the Moray Firth Salmon Fishing Company and the Scottish Salmon and Whitefish Company,[1] chairing the latter from 1980 to 1991.[3]

In 1970, he was elected onto Ross and Cromarty County Council, serving until the council's abolition four years later. He was also a member of Cromarty District Council from 1984 to 1996. In 1988, he was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ross and Cromarty, serving until his death on 24 March 2007.[1]

Stirling had been appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in 2007.[1]
