History. The family descends from Sir George Ramsay, who represented Kincardineshire in the Scottish Parliament in 1617. He received a charter of the barony of Dalhousie and also of the barony of Melrose on the resignation of John Ramsay, 1st Earl of Holderness. In 1618 he was raised to the Peerage of Scotland as Lord Ramsay of Melrose.
1st to 9th Earls of Dalhousie. George Ramsay, 1st Lord Ramsay of Dalhousie (died 1629) created Lord Ramsay of Melrose in 1618, to him and his heirs male; by further letters patent in 1619 the title was changed to that of Lord Ramsay of Dalhousie.
In 1633 George’s son William was raised to Earl of Dalhousie and Lord Ramsay of Keringtoun. Eight years later he appears to have changed his allegiance, for he fought on the side of the Parliamentarians in the civil war, and commanded a regiment of horses at Marston Moors in 1614.
