Ne Obliviscaris - Do not forget! That's the motto of the ancient Campbell clan of Scotland. One thing the present Duke of Argyll, Sir Torquhil Ian Campbell never forgets to do is return regularly to the UAE, a country he's visited for more than a decade.

Having inherited the title from his father upon his death in 2001, His grace combines the duties as duke, clan chief and landowner with a consultant role for leading brands.

We caught up with him upon a recent visit to Dubai as he enjoyed the ancient sport of kings at The Desert Palm Polo Club. Six international teams competed in the Royal Salute UAE Nation's Cup and the trophy was ultimately won by the national team.
