House of Lords members paid tribute to former Lord Chancellor Lord Mackay of Clashfern on Thursday 9 July 2026.
The Lord Speaker, Lord Forsyth of Drumlean, said ‘He brought to public life a wonderful combination of brilliance, courtesy, principle and faith.
‘Formidable, but never vain; learned, but never showy; firm in judgment, but always humane. A proud Scot and good friend to me.’
