George Winram, Lord Liberton

George Winram (occasionally Windrahame), Lord Liberton (1604–1650) was a 17th-century Scottish judge, politician, soldier and Senator of the College of Justice.

[1][2] George studied law at Edinburgh University graduating MA and passed the Scottish bar as an advocate in 1626.

And from June 1644 until March 1647 he was joint MP for Edinburgh alongside Lord Warriston (during the turbulent English Civil War).

In February 1650 he arrived at Leith with letters from the king to both the Scottish Parliament and the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.

From Little it passed to the Gilmour family (in or before 1686) and remained in their ownership until 1945 when the Edinburgh Corporation acquired the house and estate in lieu of debts.
