Charles Lennox Cumming-Bruce (20 February 1790 – 1 January 1875),[1] was a Scottish Conservative politician. He was the second son of Sir Alexander Cumming-Gordon, 1st Baronet, and in 1820 married Mary Elizabeth Bruce, the only daughter of James Bruce.[2]
He served as the Member of Parliament for the Inverness Burghs constituency from 1831 to 1837 - being re-elected in 1834 with a majority of only four votes,[3] and for Elginshire and Nairnshire from 1840 to 1868.
Cumming-Bruce's only child Elizabeth Mary Cumming-Bruce married James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin.
He is commemorated on the monument to James Bruce of Kinnaird on the east face of the iron monument.
