Edmonstone baronets
The Edmonstone Baronetcy, of Duntreath in the County of Stirling, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created 20 May 1774 for Archibald Edmonstone, 11th of Duntreath, Member of Parliament for Dunbartonshire and Ayr Burghs. He was succeeded by his third but eldest surviving son, the second Baronet. He represented Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire in the House of Commons. On his death the title passed to his eldest son, the third Baronet. He was a writer and traveller. He died without surviving issue and was succeeded by his half-brother, the fourth Baronet. He was an Admiral in the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament.
The family seat is Duntreath Castle, Blanefield, Stirlingshire. The 7th Baronet and his second wife Julie run the Castle as a venue for weddings and garden lectures. [1]
The historian Mary McGrigor is the sister of the seventh Baronet.
