Dunbar baronets of Hempriggs (1706)

Escutcheon of the Dunbar baronets of Hempriggs

The Dunbar baronetcy of Hempriggs, Caithness, was created for Hon. James Dunbar, formerly James Sutherland, on 10 or 21 December 1706. He was a younger son of James Sutherland, 2nd Lord Duffus, and brother of the attainted Jacobite Kenneth Sutherland. He married Elizabeth Dunbar, daughter and heiress of Sir William Dunbar, 1st Baronet of the Dunbar baronets of Northfield (1700).[1]

The remainder of the Dunbar baronets of Hempriggs is to heirs whomsoever, rather than only heirs male.[2]
