James Wedderburn-Colville (1739-1807) was born James Wedderburn, the second son of Sir John Wedderburn, 5th Baronet of Blackness, an impoverished Perthshire gentleman who was executed following the Jacobite rising of 1745. Following his father's death, James travelled to Jamaica where, like his brother John Wedderburn, he made a fortune in the sugar trade. In 1773, he returned to Scotland where he married the heiress Isabella Blackburn in 1774, and purchased a country seat at Inveresk Lodge; raising a family of six children. In his later years, Wedderburn lived the life of a country gentleman (adding the extra name Colvile for reasons of inheritance) until his death in 1807.
