  • Джордж Юлл Маки, барон Маки из Бенши (англ. George Yull Mackie, Baron Mackie of Benshie; 10 июля 1919, , Абердиншир — 17 февраля 2015, Данди) — британский военный, государственный и общественный деятель. Джордж Маки принадлежал к известному шотландскому роду, занимавшемуся фермерством на протяжении 300 лет. Он поступил в Абердинский университет для учёбы в области сельского хозяйства, однако не окончил его, и позже стал управляющим на семейной ферме. После начала Второй мировой войны, Маки добровольцем вступил в ВВС Великобритании, в составе которых на бомбардировщиках «Vickers Wellington», «Avro Lancaster» и «Short Stirling» совершал вылеты на территории от Мальты, Крита, Ливии и Египта, а также принял участие в стратегических бомбардировках Германии. Во время войны за боевые успехи Маки был удостоен Ордена «За выдающиеся заслуги» и Креста «За выдающиеся лётные заслуги». После демобилизации Маки вернулся к ведению сельского хозяйства, а затем вступил в партию либеральных демократов и занялся политической деятельностью. В 1964 году Маки был избран в Палату общин, однако уже в 1966 году потерял место в парламенте и впоследствии потерпел несколько поражений на выборах. В то же время он активно занимался бизнесом, владел несколькими компаниями в различных отраслях сельского хозяйства и промышленности, продолжал защищать интересы фермеров. В 1970 году Маки стал Командором Ордена Британской империи, а в 1974 году удостоен пожизненного пэрства и членства в Палате лордов. Будучи членом парламента, он участвовал в политической и культурной жизни Шотландии, и некоторое время даже занимал пост ректора Университета Данди. Джордж Маки скончался в 2015 году в возрасте 95 лет. (ru)
