Campbell Baronets

There have been 19 baronetcies created for persons with the surname Campbell, seven in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia and twelve in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.

The Campbell Baronetcy, of Glenorchy in the Perthshire, Scotland, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 29 May 1625 for Duncan Campbell. The fifth Baronet was created Earls of Breadalbane and Holland in 1681. The Official Roll of the Baronetage indicates that the title became dormant on the death of the last holder in 1995.

The Campbell Baronetcy, of Lundy (or Lundie) in Forfarshire, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 13 December 1627 for Colin Campbell. The title became dormant on the death of the second Baronet in c. 1696. The title is later believed to have been vested in Archibald Campbell, 1st Duke of Argyll, and his descendants. However, the Official Roll of the Baronetage indicates that the title became dormant on the death of the last holder in 2001.

The Campbell Baronetcy, of St Cross Mede in the County of Southampton (now Hampshire), was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 22 May 1815 for General Sir Guy Campbell. The title was in honour of his father, Lieutenant-General Colin Campbell, Governor of Gibraltar, and was created with remainder to the heirs male of his father. Colin Campbell was the son of John Campbell, Deputy Keeper of the Great Seal of Scotland, illegitimate son of the Hon. Colin Campbell, younger son of John Campbell, 1st Earls of Breadalbane and Holland.
