Robinson Souttar


Robinson Souttar was a British Liberal Party politician.
He first stood for Parliament at the 1892 general election, when he was an unsuccessful candidate in the Conservative-held Oxford seat.
He was elected at the 1895 general election as the Member of Parliament for Dumfriesshire, defeating the sitting Liberal Unionist MP William Maxwell by a majority of only 13 votes. Maxwell regained the seat in 1900, and Souttar did not stand again.
