Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch of Gilmerton (c. 1749 – 1800) was a Scottish baronet who, in one of the most celebrated cases in late 18th century Britain, murdered his elder brother, Sir Francis Kinloch, 6th baronet of Gilmerton. In the approach to the tragic events (and during the trial) he was known by his military title of Major Alexander Gordon Kinloch (close acquaintances call him Major Gordon). Through the greatest of ironies, due to the murder, Kinloch was thereafter entitled "Sir". Although the term is not used during his trial, it is one of the first recorded instances of diminished responsibility due to mental instability. The case also set parameters for the use and validity of notes taken by witnesses in use as testimony.

  • Sir Archibald Gordon Kinloch of Gilmerton (c. 1749 – 1800) was a Scottish baronet who, in one of the most celebrated cases in late 18th century Britain, murdered his elder brother, Sir Francis Kinloch, 6th baronet of Gilmerton. In the approach to the tragic events (and during the trial) he was known by his military title of Major Alexander Gordon Kinloch (close acquaintances call him Major Gordon). Through the greatest of ironies, due to the murder, Kinloch was thereafter entitled "Sir". Although the term is not used during his trial, it is one of the first recorded instances of diminished responsibility due to mental instability. The case also set parameters for the use and validity of notes taken by witnesses in use as testimony. He therefore became a baronet on 16 April 1795 the day of his victim's death. The entirety of his baronetcy was spent either in prison or under house arrest, neither being a barrier to his legal rights to the title of Baronet. His trial included many prominent legal and medical persons of late 18th century Edinburgh society. (en)
