<p>Malcolm Moncrieffe was born in Perth, Scotland, and immigrated to the United States with his older brother, William, in the 1890s. Moncrieffe settled in Big Horn, Wyoming, where he established a business raising sheep and cattle. He also played an important role in bringing the sport of polo to that area by creating a polo field on his property and taking part in importing and breeding horses for the sport.</p>
