Nicholas Fairbairn
Sir Nicholas Fairbairn (died 1995) was a Conservative Party MP for Perth, Scotland, elected in 1974, 1979, 1983, 1987, and 1992. For a time he served as Scotland's Solicitor-General. He was noted for his criticism of the European Union, and for his colourful dress sense.
He died in office, triggering a by-election at a bad moment for John Major's embattled Conservative administration. His seat was duly seized by Roseanna Cunningham of the Scottish National Party.
