Escutcheon of the Erskine baronets of Cambo (second creation)

The Erskine baronetcy, of Cambo in the County of Fife, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 27 August 1821 for David Erskine, a grandson through an illegitimate line of Thomas Erskine, 9th Earl of Kellie.[1] The original baronetcy of Cambo became extinct on the death of the tenth Earl of Kellie in 1829.[2]

The 2nd Baronet was a Deputy Lieutenant of Denbighshire. The 3rd Baronet was a Deputy Lieutenant of Fife. The 5th Baronet was Convenor of the Fife County Council between 1970 and 1973 and Vice-Lord Lieutenant of Fife between 1981 and 1987. The title has descended in a direct line from father to son.
