James Sandilands, 2nd Lord Abercrombie

James Sandilands, 2nd Lord Abercrombie (1645–1681), a member of the Parliament of Scotland, was the son of James Sandilands, 1st Lord Abercrombie[1] and Jean Lichtoun.

His father's wasteful spending had resulted in the alienation of the family lands in Fife in 1649,[1][2][3] and Abercrombie seems to have spent most of his life in poverty.

He died unmarried in 1681[1] in Kinneff and the lordship of parliament became extinct.[3]
