James DUNLOP, 5th of Garnkirk and Tolcross, (1742-1816). James was son of Provost Colin Dunlop (7 Jan 1706 - 13 Aug 1777) (information from stirnet website). Colin Dunlop was a leading tobacco merchant in Glasgow, who in 1747, had invested his fortune in a Fullerton estate with a rich deposit of coal below it. His son, James Dunlop, invested ten thousand pounds sterling in the Fullerton Pit which saved him from bankruptcy when his father’s tobacco company failed in 1793. In 1810 Dunlop purchased the Clyde Ironworks started by others on a site a mile south of Fullerton village, where the Dunlops built a new village for their operatives and colliers, and named it Clyde Ironworks, which had a population of 670 in 1882. The Colville's group took over the Clyde Ironworks in 1930 and it operated as part of the British Steel Corporation until-like most of the steel mills in Lanarkshire, under the "dead hand" of Nationalisation- it closed in the 1970s.

In 1785 one partner of the “Greenock” bank was James Dunlop of Garnkirk, son of Provost Colin Dunlop. From “The Burgesses and guild brethren of Glasgow 1751-1846” (Scottish record society, 1935): reg. 2mar1767 - James Dunlop, merchant, as eldest son to Colin Dunlop, Burgess and guild brethren. From “Decennial indexes to the services of heirs in Scotland 1700-1859”: James Dunlop of Carmyle, merchant, Glasgow, to his father Colin Dunlop of Carmyle, merchant, Glasgow, Hr. Gen. 24oct1777. In 1793 Mr. Dunlop ceased to be an agent of the bank and Alexander Warrand was appointed successor. Alexander was son in law of Rev. Dr. M’Caul of the Tron Church (“Glasgow past and present” by Robert Reid, pub. 1884). From Edinburgh Annual Register, 1816: death at Tolcross, James Dunlop, late of Garnkirk, aged 75. A portrait of James Dunlop of Garnkirk (1741-1816 Tollcross), spouse of Marion Buchanan, was lent to Old Glasgow Exhibition by Colin R. Dunlop (catalogue).
