There have been two Baronetcies created for persons with the surname Strachan, both in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia. Both are currently either extinct or dormant.
The Strachan Baronetcy, of Thornton, Kincardine, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in 1625 for Alexander Strachan, a favourite of King Charles I, and a Commissioner of the Exchequer. Their arms were; or, a hart, tripping, at gaze, azure, attired sable. According to Cokayne’s Complete Baronetage [1] the baronetcy was subsequently assumed by claimants with a very doubtful title to it. The numbering of the baronets is, perhaps as a consequence, very confused. The baronetcy has remained unclaimed since the death of the self-styled 10th baronet in 1854.
Following the death of Sir Francis, two rival claimant lines are recorded. [1]
Following the extinction of both claimant lines, the title was assumed by:
The Strachan Baronetcy, of Inchtuthel, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia in 1685 for Thomas Strachan. It became extinct upon his death.
