David Milne-Home

David Milne-Home FRSE (born David Milne, 1805, Inveresk, East Lothian - 1890, Milne-Graden) was a Scottish advocate, geologist and meteorologist.

Milne was the junior defence counsel for the notorious grave-robber William Burke,[1] and later served as Advocate-Depute for the Crown Office.

Milne and his wife Jean Home (m. 1832) later adopted the famous name Home, when she inherited the Wedderburn, Billie and Paxton estates in 1852.[2]

His father was Admiral Sir David Milne, and his younger brother became Admiral of the Fleet Sir Alexander Milne, 1st Baronet.
