James Boyd, 9th Lord Boyd (–1654),〔Also known as Lord Boyd of Kilmarnock〕 was a Scottish noble who adhered to the Royalist cause during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. ==Biography== James Boyd was the younger brother of Robert Boyd, 7th Lord Boyd and inherited the title in 1641 on the death of his nephew Robert Boyd, 8th Lord Boyd. James Boyd was a steadfast Royalist, joined the Association at Cumbernauld in favour of Charles I in January 1641, he was one of the Committee of War for the South 16 April 1644,〔 cites ''Acta Pari. Scot.''〕 and for Ayr 24 July 1644,〔 cites ''Acta Pari. Scot.'', vol. vi. pt. i. p. 202.〕 and 18 April 1648.〔 cites ''Acta Pari. Scot.'', vol. vi. pt. ii. p. 34.〕 He was included in the list of the nobility to be summoned to the Committee of Estates, in Cromwell's letter to Lieutenant-General David Leslie 17 January 1650,〔 cites ''Acta Pari. Scot.'', vol. vi. pt. ii. p. 587.〕 and was fined £1,500 under the Cromwell's Act of Grace on 12 April 1654,〔 cites ''Acta Pari.
