William Kerr, 6th Marquess of Lothian (1763-1824), was a Scottish nobleman and soldier who played a significant role in the British military and aristocracy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Born on 4 October 1763, he was the eldest son of William Kerr, 5th Marquess of Lothian, and Elizabeth Fortescue. Kerr was educated at the prestigious Eton College, which laid the foundation for his future military and political career.

In 1779, at the age of 16, Kerr joined the British Army, beginning a distinguished military career that saw him rise through the ranks. He served with distinction in various capacities, including as a lieutenant colonel in the 11th Dragoons and later as a colonel of the 24th Light Dragoons. His military service was marked by his participation in several key campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars, where his leadership and strategic acumen were highly regarded.

Upon the death of his father in 1815, Kerr inherited the title of Marquess of Lothian, along with the family estates and responsibilities. As a peer, he took his seat in the House of Lords, where he was involved in the legislative affairs of the nation. His contributions to the political landscape were characterized by his commitment to the interests of Scotland and the British Empire.

Kerr married Lady Harriet Hobart, daughter of John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire, in 1793. The couple had several children, ensuring the continuation of the Kerr lineage. His eldest son, John William Robert Kerr, succeeded him as the 7th Marquess of Lothian upon his death on 27 April 1824.

Throughout his life, William Kerr, 6th Marquess of Lothian, was a prominent figure in both military and aristocratic circles. His legacy is remembered for his service to the British Army, his contributions to the House of Lords, and his role in maintaining the prestige and influence of the Kerr family.
