Peter McLagan (1823-1900), was a British Liberal Party politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Linlithgowshire, in the central belt of Scotland, for nearly 30 years, from 1865 to 1893. Notably, he is Scotland’s first and, to date, only black MP. He was also Scotland’s longest serving MP during the reign of Queen Victoria.
