- George Baillie-Hamilton, 10th Earl of Haddington
George Baillie-Hamilton, 10th Earl of Haddington (14 April 1802-25 June 1870), known as George Baillie until 1858, was a Scottish Conservative politician.
Haddington was the son of George Baillie and his wife Mary (née Pringle). Charles Baillie, Lord Jerviswoode, was his younger brother. He succeeded his second cousin in the earldom in 1858 and in 1859 he assumed by Royal license the additional surname of Hamilton. The latter year he was also elected a Scottish Representative Peer and took his seat on the Conservative benches in the House of Lords. He served under the Earl of Derby and Benjamin Disraeli as a Lord-in-Waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1867 to 1868. Between 1867 and 1868 he was also Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland.
Lord Haddington married Georgina, daughter of the Venerable Robert Markham, Archdeacon of York, in 1824. He died in June 1870, aged 68, and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son George. The Countess of Haddington died in 1873.
