Donald Smith, Lord Strathcona was responsible for the raising of a cavalry regiment, a la Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders, for the Boer War. Lord Strathcona's Horse is still on active service with Canadian Forces today as an armored regiment. At one time, the regiment had a pipe band, but it is currently is suspended animation:

Very interesting, Todd. Jock, I would move into the house, remodel and refurbish it, and live out my years there, for certain! Needs a bit of attention, but it is a wonderful looking house! Glad to hear it has been saved.

Cheers,
