Biography
He was educated at Eton College and the Royal Agricultural College.[1]
The 4th Lord Rowallan inherited Rowallan Castle, the family seat, directly from his grandfather, the 2nd Lord Rowallan, in 1977. The 2nd Baron had disinherited his eldest son and heir, Arthur Corbett, the current Baron's father. The Hon. Johnny Corbett (as he was styled at the time) was forced to sell Rowallan Castle in 1989. He was declared bankrupt in 1993, the year he succeeded to the peerage.
He runs the Rowallan Activity Centre, an equestrian centre near Meikle Mosside, Fenwick in Ayrshire, with his third wife, Lady Claire, and her daughter, Sophie Dinning, a former international showjumper. [2]
