William Johnstone Pulteney

Sir William Johnstone Pulteney (October 1729 ? 30 May 1805) was an eminent Scottish lawyer, Member of Parliament, and at one time reputedly the wealthiest man in Great Britain. He invested in lands in America, and in developments in the UK, including the Pulteney Bridge and other buildings in Bath, buildings on the sea-front at Weymouth in Dorset, and roads in his native Scotland. He was also a patron of architect Robert Adam and civil engineer Thomas Telford.
