- Sir James Balfour, 1st Baronet
Sir James Balfour of Denmyine, 1st Baronet, (c. 1600 – c. 1658) of Perth and Kinross, Scotland, Scottish annalist and antiquary.
He was well acquainted with Sir William Segar and with William Dugdale, to whose "Monasticon" he contributed. He was knighted by Charles I of Scotland in 1630, was made Lord Lyon King of Arms in the same year, and in 1633 baronet of Kinnaird. He was removed from his office of king-at-arms by Oliver Cromwell and died in 1657/8.
Some of his numerous works are preserved in the Advocates' Library at Edinburgh, together with his correspondence, from which rich collection James Haig published Balfour's "Annales of Scotland" in 4 volumes (1824 – 1825).
