And I see that the MacGregors have quite a history, being banned from using their own surname? I've got more reading to do!
You are quite correct in that Sir Malcolm MacGregor MacGregor is not a Baronet of Nova Scotia, but rather of the UK. Looking closer at the photo, you can just make out the blue stipes on the ribbon, and the Red Hand on the badge. Thank you!
