==Early life==
Lorimer was born near Dundee and was the son of a Presbyterian clergyman Robert Lorimer and his wife Isabella Lockhart Robertson. He was educated at the High School of Dundee. The family distinguished itself as colonial administrators and academics. His mother's family had long resided in India and in 1896 David Lorimer relocated to India following completion of his military training at Sandhurst. His brothers Gordon and Bert also worked in the civil administration in the Indian Political Service.〔(Penelope Tuson: ''Playing the Game: The Story of Western Women in Arabia'', I.B.Tauris 2003, ISBN 1-86064-933-5 )〕 Another, William, became Professor of Classics at St Andrews. He also had three sisters, Hilda (Vice Principal of Somerville College, Oxford), Emilia (a poetess), and Florence (personal secretary to Aurel Stein at the British Museum).
In 1910 Lorimer married Emily Overend of Dundee. Emily Overend Lorimer (1881–1949) was a noted journalist, writer and lecturer in German philosophy at Somerville. In the late 1920s and 1930s she became one of the leading commentators in Britain on Nazism and translated works of Adolf Hitler.〔Dan Stone (The ‘Mein Kampf Ramp’: Emily Overend Lorimer and Hitler Translations in Britain ) German History 2008 26(4):504-519.〕
