David Dundas Whigham (22 August 1832 – 27 October 1906) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and legal advocate.
The son of Robert Whigham, he was born at Edinburgh in August 1832. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before going up to Balliol College, Oxford.[2] Whigham did not play first-class cricket for Oxford University Cricket Club while studying at Balliol, but did play three first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club from 1856 to 1857,[3] scoring 29 runs with a highest score of 9.[4] Following his graduation from Oxford, Whigham was admitted to the Faculty of Advocates to practice as an advocate in 1858.[1] Whigham was married to Ellen Murray (née Campbell), with the couple having six sons and four daughters. These included the British Army General Sir Robert Whigham, the female golf player Sybil Whigham, and the golfer and journalist H. J. Whigham. Whigham died at his residence at Prestwick in October 1906.[5]
