William Ramsay (MP)

[5] He was privately tutored then studied at Christ Church, Oxford graduating in 1828, and later that year married Mary Sandilands, daughter of James Sandilands, 10th Lord Torpichen—with whom he had 1 son, Charles William Ramsay (1844–1865).

He inherited the estates of his father when "still an infant", an event which saw him conferred the distinction of "the richest commoner in Scotland".

He was later, in 1841, elected Conservative MP for Midlothian, but resigned four years later by accepting the office of Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds.

[7] Barnton House was demolished around 1960 but the Gothic style gatepiers of 1810 still exist on Whitehouse Road.
