Sir John Ogilvy, 9th Baronet
Sir John Ogilvy, 9th Baronet (17 March 1803 – 9 March 1890), was a Scottish Liberal Party politician. He was MP for Dundee from 1857 to 1874, originally as its sole member, but from 1868 was one of two members representing the town after it became a two member constituency.[1] He was first elected at the general election of 1857, defeating his future colleague George Armitstead, by 245 votes. In both 1859 and 1865 he was returned unopposed.[1] In the first election for the new two member seat in 1868 he was elected in second place, finishing 77 votes behind Armitstead, but polling over 3,000 votes more than third placed candidate.[1]
With his wife Lady Jane Ogilvy (daughter of Lord Henry Howard-Molyneux-Howard) he was largely responsible for the foundation of Baldovan Institution in 1852.[2] He also established the Dundee Corn Exchange in 1856.[3] His heir was Sir Reginald Ogilvy, 10th Baronet, who died in 1910.[4]
