= Robert Sinclair, Lord Stevenson =

Sir Robert Sinclair of Stevenson, 3rd Baronet, Lord Stevenson (15 September 1643 – 1713) was a Scottish politician and jurist. Sinclair was born the youngest son of John Sinclair (fiar of Stevenson) and Isabel (the daughter of Lord Robert Boyd). He succeeded his grandfather and his elder brother John to the third baronetcy in July 1652, and had his ownership of the lands in Stevenson ratified by parliament on 4 June 1663; his chartership to land in Carfrae was ratified in June 1670.

In 1661, Sinclair defended the marquess of Argyll at his trial, and in March 1670 he was appointed a justice of the peace and commissioner of excise for Haddingtonshire, Scotland. He had aspirations in 1670 to be appointed as Lord Advocate, but no such appointment was made. In July 1680, the privy council rebuked Sinclair "for seditiously and factiously opposing" or "at least obstructing his Majesty's service in putting the act of Privy Council to execution for levying 5,500 men out of the militia". During the revolution Sinclair represented Haddington constabulary in the convention of estates and subsequent parliament, serving in this capacity from 1689 to 1702. In March 1689 he subscribed both the act declaring the convention to be a free and lawful meeting of the estates, and the letter of congratulation to King William. He was appointed to a number of parliamentary committees, and appears to have regularly attended, apparently supporting Melville's party in its struggle with the ‘Club’ (Melville, 194, 202). On 7 December 1689 he was appointed sheriff of Haddingtonshire, a privy councillor in May following, and one of the lords of exchequer. He was also named a lord of session as Lord Stevenson, but through his ‘uncommon modesty’ (Brunton and Haig, 441), he never took his seat, although he remained some years in the nomination, and at his final resignation of this office was succeeded by Sir William Hamilton of Whitelaw, on 29 December 1693. On 17 July 1695 he was granted the right to hold two yearly fairs and a weekly market at Pencaitland Wester. Following the accession of Queen Anne, in 1703 he was again nominated a privy councillor.

Stevenson was twice married: first, at the palace of Holyroodhouse, on 10 September 1663, to Lady Helen, daughter of John Lindsay, seventeenth earl of Crawford, with whom he had six sons and three daughters, and second, to Anne, daughter of Sir William Scott of Ardross, widow of Sir Daniel Carmichael of Mauldslie; they had no children. His daughter Margaret married Robert Dundas, second Lord Arniston, and was mother and grandmother to two successive lord presidents of the court of session who bore that title. Stevenson died in July 1713, and was succeeded by his son Sir John, as fourth baronet, his testament being confirmed at Edinburgh in December.
