Alexander Ogilvy, 7th Lord Banff

Alexander Ogilvy, 7th Lord Banff (* between 1714 and 1727 - † September 1, 1771 ), was a Scottish nobleman .

He came from a branch of the Ogilvy clan . He was the only son of Alexander Ogilvy, Younger of Forglen (1687 – before 1727), from his marriage to Jane Frend. His paternal grandfather was Alexander Ogilvy, Lord Forglen (after 1649-1727), who was the second-born son of George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff (1649-1713), on June 24, 1701 to the hereditary baronet , of Forglen in the County of Banff , and was raised to Lord Forglen as a judge on the Court of Session for life .

When his second cousin Alexander Ogilvy, 6th Lord Banff (1718–1746), unmarried and childless, died in November 1746, he also inherited the title Lord Banff , created in 1642 , and the title Baronet , of Forglen in the created in 1627 County of Banff.
