Patrick Ogilvy

Patrick Ogilvy (1665 – 20 Sep 1737) of Cairnbulg and Loanmay, Aberdeen and Inchmartine, Perthshire, was a Scottish politician who sat in the Parliament of Scotland from 1702 to 1707 and as a Whig in the British House of Commons from 1707 to 1710.

He was a younger brother of James Ogilvy, 4th Earl of Findlater to whom he owed his military and political careers, being undistinguished on his own account.

He played little part in his regiment, but took command of an independent force, enforcing customs regulations in western Scotland.

He was relatively inactive in Parliament and his only significant committee appointment was to draft a bill for the encouragement of the fishery, on 16 December 1708.

He did not stand at the 1710 British general election, sold his military commission in 1711 and retired to private life.
