Tartan History
The Bairds are an ancient family and owned lands in Lanarkshire and the Barony of Cambuskenneth in the 13th and 14th centuries. They spread northwards to Banffshire and Aberdeenshire and acquired importance as Sheriffs of Aberdeen. There were some important branches, including Auchmeddan and Newbyth, and John Baird was created a knight baronet and became a Lord of Session with the title Lord Newbyth.
