Sir David Ramsay, 4th Baronet
Sir David Ramsay, 4th Baronet (after 1673 – by 1 September 1710), of Balmain, Kincardine, was a Scottish politician who sat in the Parliament of Scotland from 1705 to 1707 and in the British House of Commons from 1707 to 1710.
Ramsay was son of
Marischal College, Aberdeen from 1693 to 1697.[2] He succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1695 while at the university.[1]
Ramsay contested
Member of Parliament for Kincardineshire. In response to a petition from Kincardineshire freeholders to place Scottish J.P.s on the same footing as English J.P.s (and excuse the Scots from a 'slavish and unnecessary attendance' on circuit courts), he took charge of a bill during January and February 1709.[2]
While arranging his marriage, Ramsay was accidentally killed in a fall from his horse on or before 1 September 1710.[2] He was succeeded in his baronetcy by his brother Alexander.[1]
