| • | Sir David Rae, Lord Eskgrove (c.1724?-1804) was a Scottish judge.
He studied law at Edinburgh University, and became a Lord of Session in 1782, and a Lord of Justiciary in 1785, taking the judicial title Lord Eskgrove. He was appointed Lord Justice Clerk in 1799, holding office until his death. He was one of the judges who tried Thomas Fyshe Palmer and other Scots charged with sedition. His son William Rae was a Member of Parliament and Lord Advocate.
He was created a baronet in 1804. He died the same year, and is interred in Inveresk Kirkyard.
Rae is remembered by Lord Henry Cockburn in his book Memorials of His Time (published posthumously in 1856), as a ࢀ&#-2333;onsiderable lawyerࢀ&#-2336;who became a deplorable judge, and Cockburn concludes ࢀ&#-2335; more ludicrous personage could not exist.ࢀ&#-2336;
