Born in Scotland in 1751, Alexander Campbell (1751-1832) gained his lieutenancy in the Royal Regiment in 1770 and was made Captain of the 62nd Regiment in Ireland in September 1772. Campbell embarked for Canada as Captain of light infantry under General Carleton in the Northern Campaign of 1776. After the surrender of the army at Saratoga in late 1777, he exchanged from the Americas and was appointed to serve as Major to the 1st Battalion of light infantry. He was later stationed in the West Indies in 1795, after which he returned to Scotland.

Campbell was a founding member of the Highland Society of Scotland in 1784, and was the Member of Parliament (House of Commons) for Anstruther Easter 1797-1802 and Stirling from June 1807 through July 1818.
