Earl of Stair is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1703 for the lawyer and statesman John Dalrymple, 2nd Viscount of Stair. He actively supported William III's claim to the throne and served as Secretary of State for Scotland. However, he was forced to resign after he authorised the massacre of Glencoe of 1692. Dalrymple was made Lord Newliston, Glenluce and Stranraer and Viscount of Dalrymple, at the same time he was given the earldom, also in the Peerage of Scotland. All three titles were created with remainder, in default of male issue of his own, to the heirs male of his father. His father James Dalrymple was also a prominent lawyer and served as Lord President of the Court of Session. He was created a baronet, of Stair in the County of Ayr, in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in 1664, and in 1690 he was raised to the Peerage of Scotland as Lord Glenluce and Stranraer and Viscount of Stair.
Dalrymple is remembered for his histological work done with Henry Bence Jones (1814-1873) in the discovery of the albumin that was to become known as Bence Jones protein. This protein is often found in the blood and urine of patients with multiple myeloma. He published his findings in a treatise called On the microscopic character of mollities ossium.
Dalrymple also composed two important books on ophthalmology called "The anatomy of the human eye" (1834) and "Pathology of the human eye" (1852). The eponymous Dalrymple's sign is named after him, which is an abnormal wideness of the palpebral fissures in exophthalmic goiter.
He entered the Royal Navy as a Captain's servant aboard HMSAlderney. He passed his examinations for promotion to lieutenant in 1744. He commanded a sloop in 1757; and he was promoted to post-captain in 1758. He was captain of HMSWinchester in 1762. He was promoted to the rank of rear-admiral in 1787 and to vice-admiral in 1793. He was Commander-in-Chief, The Nore from 11 May 1794, flying his flag aboard HMSSandwich. He was promoted to full admiral in 1795.
This Scottish-born seaman was elected to membership in the Royal Society on 23 May 1796.
Dalrymple is most remembered for his part in the 1692 Massacre of Glencoe. In 1695, the Scottish parliament demanded an enquiry into the massacre, and when the report from the enquiry was complete, they voted that "the killing of the Glencoe men was murder". Responsibility for the crime lay with the King's Scottish ministers, and many criticised William's shielding the Master of Stair, including Lord Macaulay, who termed it a "great breach of duty". The only punishment he endured was a dismissal from the Secretaryship of State. He returned to government in 1700 as a member of the Privy Council of Scotland. After succeeding his father as 2nd Viscount of Stair in 1695, he was created 1st Earl of Stair in 1703 by Queen Anne.

The Scottish Clan Dalrymple, also known as the Dalrymples of Stair, is an ancient and prominent family that has played a significant role in Scottish history and culture. The origins of the clan's name and history date back several centuries, and their influence is still felt in Scotland today.
The name "Dalrymple" is thought to have originated from the land the family owned in the parish of Kyle in Ayrshire. The Gaelic for "dale of the crooked pool" and the Saxon for "dahlhrympel" are among the possible sources of the name, but the exact derivation remains uncertain.
The first recorded mention of a Dalrymple was in a charter from Robert II in 1371, which confirmed Kennedy of Dunmore in part of the barony. The Dalrymple...

The Scottish Clan Dalrymple, also known as the Dalrymples of Stair, is an ancient and prominent family that has played a significant role in Scottish history and culture. The origins of the clan's name and history date back several centuries, and their influence is still felt in Scotland today.
The name "Dalrymple" is thought to have originated from the land the family owned in the parish of Kyle in Ayrshire. The Gaelic for "dale of the crooked pool" and the Saxon for "dahlhrympel" are among the possible sources of the name, but the exact derivation remains uncertain.
The first recorded mention of a Dalrymple was in a charter from Robert II in 1371, which confirmed Kennedy of Dunmore in part of the barony. The Dalrymples were associated with the Kennedy family, and in 1540, William Dalrymple acquired the lands of Stair-Mongomery in Ayrshire through marriage to Agnes Kennedy. He became the first Dalrymple of Stair, and his descendants went on to play significant roles in Scottish law, politics, and culture.
The Dalrymples were known for their support of the Protestant Reformation, and they fought against Mary, Queen of Scots, at the Battle of Langside in 1568. James Dalrymple, born in 1619, was one of the most prominent members of the family. He became a lawyer and statesman, eventually being raised to the peerage as Viscount Stair. He was also a professor at Glasgow University and served as a commissioner for the administration of justice in Scotland.
Stair's most significant contribution was his work on Scots Law, Institutions of the Law of Scotland, which became the foundation of modern Scottish civil law. His descendants also made notable contributions to law and politics, including serving as Lord Advocate and ambassador to the court of Louis XIV of France.
Today, the present Earl of Stair is the captain general of the Royal Company of Archers and Gold Stick-In-Waiting to HM the Queen. The Dalrymple family's legacy continues to be celebrated in Scotland, with the Stair Estate hosting various cultural events and the family's history being documented in books and museums.
In conclusion, the Scottish Clan Dalrymple is an ancient and influential family that has played a significant role in Scottish history and culture. Their contributions to law, politics, and culture continue to be felt in Scotland today, and their legacy is sure to endure for many more generations to come.
