Sir Robert Dundas, 1st Baronet

Sir Robert Dundas, 1st Baronet of Beechwood FRSE (30 June 1761 – 4 January 1835) was a Scottish landowner and lawyer.

He was born on 30 June 1761, the son of Elizabeth (née Turnbull) and the Rev Robert Dundas of Humbie in East Lothian.

In 1820, upon the death of his uncle General Sir David Dundas, he inherited the estate of Beechwood near Corstorphine in western Edinburgh.

[1] In 1824, he acquired the huge Dunira estate in Perthshire, but appears to have passed it immediately to his son, David Dundas.

He was portrayed by Sir Thomas Lawrence, one of Britain's foremost portrait painters of his day.
