Notes |
- Lord Provost of Edinburgh (Twice)
Warrender, a successful merchant dealing in foreign trade, purchased Bruntsfield in 1675, later buying adjacent properties, and acquiring Lochend. In 1705 he was one of a syndicate to whom a three years' farm of the customs and foreign excise of Scotland was assigned. A staunch Whig, who had been fined for nonconformity under James II, he was created a baronet at George I's accession, which he had proclaimed at Edinburgh in his capacity of lord provost.
