James Thomson Gibson-Craig WS FRSE (12 March 1799 – 18 July 1886) was a Scottish book collector and writer to the Signet.
[3] Gibson-Craig was a keen antiquarian, and compiled an extensive library, including several French and Scottish books with gold-tooled bindings.
[4] He presented an edition of Papers Relative to the Marriage of King James the Sixth of Scotland, with the Princess Anna of Denmark: A.D. MDLXXXIX, and the Form and Manner of Her Majesty's Coronation at Holyroodhouse, A.D. MDXC, to the Bannatyne Club in 1828.
[1] On 23 November 1841, he married Jane, the daughter of John Peter Grant of Rothiemurchus and widow of Colonel Gervaise Pennington.
The auction of 9674 lots from his library occurred at Sotheby's, over the course of twenty-eight days between 27 June 1887 and 17 November 1888, eventually raising as much as £15,509 4s 6d.
