Dalrymple, SIR JAMES, was the second son of Sir James Dalrymple, baronet, afterwards first Viscount Stair. He was called to the Scottish bar in 1675, and ultimately became one of the chief clerks of the Court of Session, and a Nova Scotia baronet in 1698. He was a sound antiquary, and his work entitled Collections concerning the Scottish History preceding 1153 (Edin. 1705) is still of value.
