==Family==
 
On 30 June 1902 at [[St. Margaret's, Westminster]], he married [[Jeanne Marie Langtry Malcolm|Jeanne Langtry]], daughter of [[Lillie Langtry]], the famous actress. Breaking all tradition, the bride was given away by her mother.<ref>{{Cite newspaper The Times |articlenametitle=Court Circular |day_of_week=Tuesday |date=1 July 1902 |page_numberpage=3 |issue=36808}}</ref> Unfortunately, Malcolm's family was far from impressed by their new daughter-in-law's mother—it is likely they were highly aware that Jeanne Marie's father was not Lillie Langtry's first husband, Edward Langtry, but onePrince of her numerous lovers—and Lillie saw less and lessLouis of her daughter. Jeanne and Sir Ian lived alternately in a house in [[Belgravia]], [[London]], or at the Malcolm’s family seat at Poltalloch in [[Scotland]]Battenberg.
 
Lillie saw less and less of her daughter. Jeanne and Sir Ian lived alternately in a house in [[Belgravia]], [[London]], or at the Malcolm's family seat at Poltalloch in [[Scotland]].
They had four children: George Ian (who later succeeded as 18th Laird of Poltalloch) (1903-1976); Victor Neill (the first husband of the actress [[Ann Todd]]) (1905-1977) and Angus Christian Edward (1908-1971); and [[Mary Malcolm|Helen Mary]] (1918-2010). Mary later became one of the first two female announcers on the [[BBC One|BBC Television Service]] (now BBC One) from 1948 to 1956, during which time she became a household name in the UK. She died on 13 October 2010 at the age of 92.<ref>https://www.theguardian.com/media/2010/oct/14/mary-malcolm-obituary</ref>▼
