William Maule, 1st Baron Panmure

William Ramsay Maule, 1st Baron Panmure of Brechin and Navar (27 October 1771 – 13 April 1852[1]) was a Scottish landowner and politician.

He represented Forfarshire in Parliament in 1796 and again between 1805 and 1831, when Maule was raised to the peerage at the coronation of William IV of the United Kingdom, as Baron Panmure, of Brechin and Navar in the County of Forfar, echoing his great-uncle's title.

William lived for many years in the family home of Brechin Castle and appears to have remodelled it in the fashionable Georgian style soon after his inheritance.

[5] In 1817, following an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a grant from the Government for Jean Armour, the widow of the poet Robert Burns, Lord Panmure for a number of years settled an annuity of £50 on her.
