Baronet of Murkle and Stevenston

It was created on 18 June 1636 for John Sinclair, and consisted of Murkle in the County of Caithness and of Stevenston in the County of Haddington. It was created as a hereditary title and held as one of the Sinclair Baronetcies.

On the death, in 1899, of the ninth Baronet without male heirs, the title passed to a descendant of James Sinclair, younger son of the fifth Baronet, who in 1764 had also inherited the Lockhart estates and assumed the surname of Lockhart. Thus the tenth Baronet, a Major-General in the British Army assumed both surnames as Sinclair- Lockhart. The eleventh Baronet was the son of George Duncan Lockhart (whose grandfather had assumed the surname of Lockhart in lieu of his patronymic), another descendant of James, younger son of the fifth Baronet.
