Angus Bonnycastle

Angus Lorne Bonnycastle (November 3, 1873—1941) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1907 to 1911, as a member of the Conservative Party. His grandfather, Sir R.H. Bonnycastle, was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the Royal Engineers, and supervised building in Kingston, Ontario, Saint John, New Brunswick, and other Canadian cities. His father-in-law was Charles Arkall Boulton, a member of the Canadian Senate.

Bonnycastle was born in Campbellford, Ontario, and educated there. He moved to Manitoba in 1893, was called to the Bar in 1905, and worked as a barrister. In religion, Bonnycastle was a member of the Church of England.

He first ran for the Manitoba legislature in the 1903 provincial election, and lost to Liberal candidate W.J. Doig by 124 votes in Russell. He ran again in the 1907 election, and defeated new Liberla candidate T.A. Wright by nine votes. The Conservatives won the election, and Bonnycastle served as a government backbencher. He was re-elected by eight votes in the 1910 election, and resigned from the legislature in 1911.

He later served as a magistrate judge in Dauphin, Manitoba. He died in 1941.
