Charles Hope (11 September 1808 – 31 October 1893), styled The Honourable from 1823, was a Scottish Conservative Party[1] politician.
Career
The son of John Hope, 4th Earl of Hopetoun and Louisa Wedderburn, and a brother of John Hope, 5th Earl of Hopetoun, he married Lady Isabella-Helen Douglas, eldest daughter of Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk in 1841.[2] He was called to the Scottish bar in 1831 and appointed one of the Commissioners of the Greenwich Hospital in 1841. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Linlithgowshire from 1838[2] until 1845 when he became Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man.[3] He resigned in 1860 and retired initially to Bridge Castle and then to St Mary's Isle near Kirkcudbright.[2]
His grandson, Charles Dunbar Hope-Dunbar, proved his claim to the Dunbar Baronetcy of Baldoon (created in 1664) in 1916 and became the 6th Baronet (see Hope-Dunbar Baronets).
