James Home of Coldenknowes (hjˈuːm; died 1592) was a Scottish landowner, soldier, and keeper of Edinburgh Castle.
Home was knighted at Stirling Castle on 25 May 1565 when Mary, Queen of Scots made Lord Darnley Earl of Ross.
[3] Regent Morton appointed Home as warden of the East March of the Scottish borders in November 1573.
[5] He was imprisoned in Blackness Castle and in June allowed to stay in Edinburgh, by the intercession of Francis Stewart, 5th Earl of Bothwell and the Secretary John Maitland.
[6] A Danish account of the Entry and Coronation of Anne of Denmark in Edinburgh in May 1590 lists him with Scottish gentlemen riding with the queen as "Juncker Kaudenscraus".
