Lord and Lady Francis Scott at the Njoro Polo Ground, Kenya, 1925: A Portrait of Colonial Elegance and Mischief This photograph captures Lord and Lady Francis Scott, the uncle and aunt of the future Duchess of Gloucester, at the Njoro Polo Ground in Kenya during the 1920s. Lord Francis Scott, the brother of the Duke of Buccleuch, had settled in Kenya in 1919 under the soldier-settlement scheme, while his wife, Lady Eileen Elliot, was the daughter of the former Viceroy of India, the Earl of Minto. The image exudes an air of British colonial sophistication, with Lady Francis Scott, dressed in a stylish white dress and hat, and Lord Scott in his polo attire, looking on with a mischievous grin. The polo ground, nestled in the lush Kenyan landscape, serves as a picturesque backdrop to their leisurely pursuit of the sport. However, the tranquility of this scene was not shared by all in the Kenyan social circle. Lady Francis Scott disapproved of the infamous Happy Valley Set, which included Lady Idina Hay, later known as the Hon. Idina Sackville, Gordon. Her unconventional mode of dress and attitude were seen as un-British and frivolous by many, including Lady Francis Scott. Despite the contrasting social scenes, the photograph stands as a testament to the history and culture of the British colonial era in East Africa. The Scott family's connection to the Duke of Buccleuch and the Earl of Minto further underscores their prominent place in colonial society. This portrait, with its timeless charm and intriguing backstory, invites us to reflect on the complexities of life in Kenya during the 1920s.
