Notities over David Falconer of Newton

Title: Sir

Sir David Falconer of Newton, was sometime lord president of the court of session. He studied the law under the eye of his father, and having passed advocate 3 July 1661, was afterwards appointed one of the commissaries of Edinburgh, and received the honour of knighthood. On 24 May 1676, he was nominated a lord of session, and on 2 March 1678, was admitted a lord of justiciary. On 5 June 1682, he was appointed president of the court, and in the parliament of 1685 he represented the county of Forfar. He was elected a lord of the articles, and a member of three commissions then appointed; one for trade, another for the plantation of kirks, and a third for the regulation of inferior judicatories. He died at Edinburgh, after four days’ illness, on 15 December 1685, in the forth-sixth year of his age, and was buried in Greyfriars churchyard, where a monument was erected to his memory. The inscription upon it is quoted at length in the Scottish Elegiac Verses from 1629 to 1729, printed at Edinburgh in 1842. President Falconer collected the decisions of the Court of Session from November 1681 till 9 December 1685, being the very last day he sat in court; they were published in 1705 by John Spottiswood, advocate.
