Cospatrick Douglas-Home, 11th Earl of Home

Cospatrick Alexander Douglas-Home, 11th Earl of Home (27 October 1799 – 4 July 1881), styled Lord Dunglass until 1841, was a Scottish diplomat and politician.

In 1828 he was appointed Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the Duke of Wellington's Tory administration, a post he held until 1830.

He succeeded his father in the earldom in 1841 and the following year he was elected a Scottish representative peer, which he remained until 1874.

The couple had several children, including William Sholto Home (1842–1916), a Major-General in the British Army.

Lord Home died at the Hirsel, Berwickshire, in July 1881, aged 81, and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son, Charles.
