Anstruther Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There have been three Anstruther Baronetcies — two in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia (Anstruther of Balcaskie 1694 and Anstruther of Anstruther 1700) and one in the Baronetage of Great Britain (Anstruther of Anstruther 1798). There is also an Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe baronetcy in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom (1929). William John St Clair Anstruther-Gray was created a Baronet in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom 4 July 1956, and raised to the peerage as Baron Kilmany in 1966.
