George Freeland Barbour (15 February 1882 – 18 November 1946) was a Scottish author, philosopher and Liberal Party politician.
He was born in Cults, Aberdeenshire, a son of the Rev Robert William Barbour (1854-1891) of Bonskeid, and his wife, Charlotte Rachel Fowler of Gastard, Wiltshire.
In 1904 Barbour became Joint Honorary Secretary of the Scottish Temperance Legislation Board, a role he carried out until 1913.
The Unionists had regained it in January 1910 and held off the challenge from Barbour 11 months later; After the election he continued his involvement as Chairman of West Perthshire Liberal Association.
Barbour had been selected as prospective parliamentary candidate in 1925[6] so had spent time nursing the division.
His hopes of regaining the seat were made harder by the presence of a Labour candidate who managed to poll enough votes to allow the Unionist to win; He did not stand for parliament again.
