The Erskine baronetcy, of Cambo in the County of Fife, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 20 August 1666 for Charles Erskine.[2] He was a younger brother of Alexander Erskine, 3rd Earl of Kellie.
The 2nd Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Fife.[3] The 8th Baronet succeeded to the earldom of Kellie in 1797. The baronetcy remained a subsidiary title of the earldom until the baronetcy's extinction in 1829, after the deaths of Thomas Erskine, 9th Earl of Kellie and then his brother Methven in 1829.[2] The overlapping Erskine baronets of Cambo (second creation, 1821) was set up in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.[4]
