Sir David Scott, 2nd Baronet

Sir David Scott, 2nd Baronet, KH (25 July 1782 – 18 June 1851) of Dunninald Castle, Scotland, was a Scottish Tory politician.

However, by the time Scott left his father's bedside, Sir David Wedderburn had already secured so much support that even the backing of Lord Melville was unable to prevent defeat.

[4] He was duly returned at a by-election in January 1806 as the Member of Parliament (MP) for the rotten borough of Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.

[5] After his 1805 defeat, he sought a baronetcy for his mother's brother-in-law Sir James Sibbald, 1st Baronet of Silwood Park in Berkshire, which was granted in December 1806, with remainder to David.

After his death, he was succeeded by his son, Sir James Sibbald David Scott, 3rd Baronet.
