George Dundas, Lord Manor (19 November 1802 – 7 October 1869)
was a Scottish Senator of the College of Justice.

He was born on 19 November 1802, the son of James Dundas of Ochtertyre, Stirlingshire, founder of the major Scottish legal firm Dundas & Wilson, and his wife Elizabeth Graham of Portmore. His siblings included David Dundas (1799–1877), Privy Counsellor, Ralph James Dundas (1795–1824) and John Dundas (1803–1873), all lawyers. William Dundas (1796–1842) died at Niagara Falls.

Dundas was descended from Dundas of Manour, and adopted the title Lord Manour when raised to a law lord, but quickly changed this to Lord Manor. He resided at Ochtertyre House, coming to Edinburgh solely for his legal work.

In 1868 Dundas was placed in the Outer House of the College of Justice with David Mure, Lord Mure and Charles Baillie, Lord Jerviswoode.
He died on 7 October 1869, found dead in his Edinburgh home at 9 Charlotte Square.
He is buried in Warriston Cemetery on the north side of the main east–west path.

He married Elizabeth Mackenzie, daughter of Colin Mackenzie of Portmore. They had five sons:

• William John Dundas FRSE
• Cpt James Dundas VC
• Colin Mackenzie Dundas (twin to James) Commander in the Royal Navy (1842–1902)
• David Dundas, Lord Dundas KC
• George Ralph Dundas

Notes

"His younger brother, George Dundas, had died eight years before. He was called to the Scottish Bar in 1826 , and enjoyed considerable practice. In 1845 he became Sheriff of Selkirkshire, and in 1868 a judge of the Court in Session, with the title of Lord Manor, an honour which he enjoyed for only one year, as his death took place on the 7th of October 1869. Like his brother, he was a man of culture and literary tastes, gentle, hounourable and high-minded."
