Thought it was time to recheck the Glasgow University RUNCIMAN graduates (between 1451 and 1896).
Only 6, all are identified.
The two Davids belong to Lineage 1a (the WantonWalls, Earlston line), James Watson and William RUNCIMAN are cousins belonging to lineage 1b (William of Crail branch), and Agatha Rachel RUNCIMAN - M.A. 1902 - also belonging to lineage 1b (Thomas & Alison (GRIEVE) branch, taught in Connecticut, and died there a few days after her brother Oscar).

Some census enumerators make it hard
Rimsenden on ancestry, Runcember on findmypast, no wonder the family couldn't be found initially in the 1871 census.

WeRelate
If you haven't yet found WeRelate, check out the RUNCIMAN families that can be found there.
As it is a free, genealogy focused Wiki, you can contribute your own corrections and updates there.
Consider registering and uploading your own RUNCIMAN family, merging with the existing ones if necessary, to help build an excellent register of known RUNCIMANs.
Also keep an eye on (and add links to) the RUNCIMAN Surname page for links to/from assorted items of RUNCIMAN interest.
Easiest method of adding people is to create and submit a gedcom from your own genie program, with dates and sources, or else it will likely be rejected at the admin review prior to upload,
This is also an excellent way of auditing your own data as the errors and warnings as part of the gedcom validation process quickly show the more unlikely dates in your tree !
Links can be easily created to further information, eg in the DNA and One Name Study projects.
As the FAQs state, no pages will be created for living people, and any earlier than 1750 can be created manually, but not via gedcom.

"not born county"
Alan's page of military RUNCIMANs led to a recheck of what all was available for the 3 or 4 David RUNCIMANs born around 1800.
The 1841 census had a family at Heatherly in Selkirkshire, where all of the family, except the youngest daughter Jean, were born "Scotland".
Wonder when Gibraltar became part of Scotland ??
Marion later shows up as Mary Ann, born Gibraltar, and her marriage entry (to Robert McGILL, later GILL) in the Edinburgh OPRs show her as daughter of the late David RUNCIMAN, pensioner of Selkirk.
This David's service record shows him as aged 19 born Ayton when he enlisted in 1822, so I believe the Heatherly family belong to the James and Agnes (HERRIOT) RUNCIMAN line.
Still looking for any further information on the David RUNCIMAN married to Jean BIGGAR whose son John was born 1821 at Yarrow, and on the David born 1803 to William and Mary (FORSYTH) RUNCIMAN at Earlston.
The other 1801 David, son of James & Mary (TOSHACH) RUNCIMAN of Perth isn't immediately obvious in 1841 in the UK, as yet.
Most of the entries in the Recent Changes index of the One Name Study are still tidy ups as data gets transferred from the DNA project, apart from updated trees for the families mentioned above. Some links may not yet work, sorry.
In the process of the research above a few twigs were also added to the line of John & Ann (SOUNESS) RUNCIMAN, a descendant having been found emigrating to Marion Co., Indiana in the 1920s.

Annapolis, Nova Scotia
Most of the recent change index entries can be ignored. They are part of a behind the scenes database merge, and resultant tidy-up - particularly because the attempt to make the indexes rather more informative resulted, initially, in the wrong version of the names being used on the person pages. Should be remedied now.
The new information is that for George, dry goods merchant of Annapolis and his link back to his Haddington family.
