Sir Gilbert Eliott, 3rd Baronet, of Stobs (c. 1680 – 27 May 1764) was a Scottish Whig politician who sat in the British House of Commons between 1708 and 1727.
On an election case on 16 December 1708, he upset his Scottish colleagues by sticking to the Whigs rather than joining with the Tories against a member who expressed anti-Scottish sentiments.
However he began to act independently, and took part in an attempt to dissolve the Union in May 1713 and voted against the French commerce bill on in June 1713.
He was returned unopposed at the 1713 British general election and voted against the expulsion of Richard Steele on 18 March 1714, He told in support of the Whigs, but was willing to work with Tories on some matters of Scottish interest.
Minto was appointed in 1726 as a judge of the Court of Session,[3] and at the resulting by-election Sir Gilbert was elected to replace him.
