Career

The son of John Hope, 4th Earl of Hopetoun and Louisa Wedderburn, and a brother of John Hope, 5th Earl of Hopetoun, he married Lady Isabella-Helen Douglas, eldest daughter of Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk in 1841. He was called to the Scottish bar in 1831 and appointed one of the Commissioners of the Greenwich Hospital in 1841. He was Member of Parliament (MP) for Linlithgowshire from 1838 until 1845 when he became Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man. He resigned in 1860 and retired initially to Bridge Castle and then to St Mary's Isle near Kirkcudbright.

His grandson, Charles Dunbar Hope-Dunbar, proved his claim to the Dunbar Baronetcy of Baldoon (created in 1664) in 1916 and became the 6th Baronet (see Hope-Dunbar Baronets).

  • The Laxey Wheel at Laxey, Isle of Man, erected to pump water from the Great Laxey Mine was named the Lady Isabella in honour of Governor Hope's wife
