Sir James Grant, 6th Baronet (28 July 1679 – 16 January 1747) was a Scottish Whig politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1722 to 1747.
Grant became heir of entail to his father-in-law’s estate and baronetcy by a patent executed in 1704.
His only reported speech was made on 5 May 1732, asking for leniency for a relative, Sir Archibald Grant.
Grant advised his son ‘to stay at home, take care of his country and join no party’.
He sent two notes to Henry Pelham, suggesting the formation of an army based on clansmen from among the loyal clans, and forwarded an unopened letter from the Young Pretender to Lord Tweeddale, the secretary of state for Scotland.
