|
| The small Scottish electorate was dominated by two noblemen, the Conservative Duke of Buccleuch and the Liberal Earl of Rosebery. |
|
| Rosebery first came to national attention in 1879 by sponsoring the successful Midlothian campaign of William Ewart Gladstone. |
|
| Remarkably the three Prime Ministers from 1880 to 1902, namely Gladstone, Salisbury and Rosebery, all attended both Eton and Christ Church. |
|
| Benjamin Disraeli often met with Rosebery in the 1870s to try to recruit him for his party, but this proved futile. |
|
| Disraeli's major rival, William Ewart Gladstone, also pursued Rosebery, with considerable success. |
|
| Rosebery was in the Lords, but Harcourt controlled the Commons, where he often undercut the prime minister. |
|
| Rosebery remained the Liberal leader for another year, then permanently retired from politics. |
|
| Rosebery turned to writing, including biographies of Lord Chatham, Pitt the Younger, Napoleon, and Lord Randolph Churchill. |
|

|
| A former Prime Minister, Lord Rosebery was an influential figure in Scottish football, serving as honorary President of the SFA and Edinburgh team Hearts. |
|
| The immediate consequences included the end of the Liberal League, and Rosebery breaking friendship with the Liberal Party, which in itself was for Lloyd George a triumph. |
|
| Rosebery died at The Durdans, Epsom, Surrey, on 21 May 1929, to the accompaniment, as he had requested, of a gramophone recording of the Eton Boating Song. |
|
| He resigned and handed over to foreign secretary, Lord Rosebery. |

|
| In 1882 he donated a trophy, the Rosebery Charity Cup, to be competed for by clubs under the jurisdiction of the East of Scotland Football Association. |
|
| When his grandfather died in 1868, Dalmeny became 5th Earl of Rosebery. |
|
| Rosebery House, Epsom College, in Epsom, is named after him. |
|

|
| He tried in vain to persuade Rosebery to become Liberal leader again. |
|
| Rosebery resigned as leader of the Liberal Party on 6 October 1896, to be succeeded by Harcourt and gradually moved further and further from the mainstream of the party. |
