Dalrymple baronets of Cranstoun (1698)

The Dalrymple baronets of Cranstoun, in the County of Edinburgh, is a title in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia. It was created on 28 April 1698 for Robert Dalrymple, a Member of Parliament for Lauder and Haddington.

The Dalrymples are a prominent Scottish family, and several other baronetcies have been created for branches of the family. This particular line descends from Sir James Dalrymple, 1st Viscount of Stair.

The Cranstoun baronetcy has passed down through the direct male line of the original grantee. Details of successive holders can be found in genealogical records and peerage books. The heir presumptive, and subsequent baronets, have often held positions of prominence in Scottish society and beyond, contributing to legal, political, and military spheres. The current status of the baronetcy, including the name of the incumbent, requires verification through up-to-date sources such as Burke's Peerage or Debrett's.
