Seton baronets of Abercorn (1663)

The Seton baronetcy, of Abercorn in the County of Linlithgow, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 3 June 1663 for Walter Seton, son of Alexander Seton, Lord Kilcreuch, with remainder to heirs male whatsoever. At the time he owned the Barony of Abercorn. He was a Customer (customs farmer) for the King.[1]

In 1923 the 9th Baronet, petitioned the Crown for his right to the title of Lord Gordon. The Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords admitted that he was the heir male of the 1st Earl of Huntly, but decided that he had not provided enough evidence of the creation and existence of the title of Lord Gordon.[2] The 11th Baronet was the actor Bruce Seton.
