Thomas Cochrane was born at Annsfield, near Hamilton, the son of Archibald Cochrane, 9th Earl of Dundonald and nephew of Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane. Much of Thomas's childhood was spent in and around the family estates at Culross in Fife. His father was a renowned, if commercially unsuccessful, inventor, who by 1793 had lost much of the family fortune backing a scheme to protect the hulls of navy ships with pitch.
