  Significant Scots - Sir James MacKintosh
MACKINTOSH, (SIR) JAMES, a distinguished historian and statesman, was born on the 24th of October, 1765, at Alldowrie, the residence of his grandmother, situated on the banks of Loch Ness, about seven miles from Inverness.
The lairds of Killochy, as the eldest branch of the Mackintoshes extant, were always captains of the watch (a feudal military appointment) to the chief of the clan, and acted in this capacity in all the hostilities in which he happened to be engaged.
Great as Sir James Mackintosh certainly was as an orator, he was yet greater as an author, and the fame which he derives from the latter character, stands on still higher and firmer ground than that on which the former is rested.

 William Hazlitt's Essay from The Spirit of the Age, "Sir James MacKintosh."
Sir James is by education and habit, and we were going to add, by the original turn of his mind, a college-man; and perhaps he would have passed his time most happily and respectably, had he devoted himself entirely to that kind of life.
Sir James has, since this period and with the help of practice, lowered himself to the tone of the House, and has also applied himself to questions more congenial to his habits of mind, and where the success would be more likely to be proportioned to his zeal and his exertions.
The appointment of Sir James Mackintosh to a Judgeship in India was one which, however flattering to his vanity or favourable to his interests, was entirely foreign to his feelings and habits.

“Always question why you’re doing something,” opined James Irvine, “unless you are being paid a ridiculous amount of money, then really question it.” This combination of rigour and irony not only characterises Irvine’s approach to his work as an industrial designer, but the part-purposeful, part-humorous spirit of the products he develops.
Born in London in 1958, Irvine studied furniture design first at Kingston University and then at the Royal College of Art.

 James Mill
James Mill (1773–1836) was a Scots-born political philosopher, historian, psychologist, educational theorist, economist, and legal, political and penal reformer.
James Mill was born on 6 April 1773 at Northwater Bridge in the county of Forfarshire in the parish of Logie Pert in Scotland.
In the first place, James Mill did not, and given his own premises could not, distinguish between a "scientific treatise on politics" and a coherent and compelling argument for "parliamentary reform." For he believed that any reforms that were workable and worth having could be based only on an adequately scientific theory of politics.

On the latter date, at Alyth, as Thomas Mackintosh of Forter, he " corroborates " a bond for 2000 merks originally given by his father and eldest brother to John Rattray of Milnhall on 8 Feb. 1664 and corroborated by his recently deceased brother James, together with other bonds which had been acquired by Mr.
The Christian name is evidently an error on the part of the clerk of the Privy Council, but it is clear that the Mackintoshes of Forter were still regarded as a distinct sept, and also, perhaps, that their late and best known head was still remembered.
Among these relative writs are also a contract of wadset between Lord Qgilvy and Thomas Mackintosh of the " Burnside " section of the lands, executed on the same date as that of the deeds already specified, and Thomas' renunciation of the wadset some years later.

But Sir James Mackintosh, who, like Macaulay, was tempted from home by public employment in India, was without the intellectual energy of his junior, and less indifferent than he to the attractions of clubs and society.
This performance is chiefly known by Macaulay’s essay upon it—not itself one of his choicest efforts—and by the scandal which ensued.
Mackintosh, notwithstanding the honour and glory which he enjoyed among a large circle of his contemporaries, can, as a historian, hardly be regarded as more than a precursor of Macaulay, to whom we accordingly turn.
