Who was James Caldwell?

James Caldwell was a Scottish politician. He served as an MP for two constituencies.

He was first elected for Glasgow St Rollox in 1886 as a Liberal Unionist. During his term he went over to the Liberals, and in 1892 he stood for re-election not in his own constituency but in Glasgow Tradeston, where he was narrowly defeated.
