Sir John Anstruther, 1st Baronet

Sir John Anstruther, 1st Baronet (c. 1678 – 27 September 1753) was a Scottish politician who sat in the Parliament of Scotland from 1702 to 1707, and in the British House of Commons from 1708 to 1741.

In general he opposed the Union, but took some lead from Lord Rothes and eventually fell in line with the Squadrone.

After the Union of England and Scotland, he was not included among the Scottish representatives in the House of Commons in 1707, but was returned unopposed as Member of Parliament for Anstruther Burghs at the 1708 general election.

He had a personal library of some significance and books from his collection can be identified by the presence of his engraved bookplate.
