Cameron baronets of Fassiefern (1817)

The Cameron baronetcy, of Fassiefern and Callart in the County of Argyll and of Arthurstone in the County of Angus, was gazetted in 1815, but not created until 8 March 1817, for Sir Ewen Cameron whose son was John Cameron of Fassiefern (1771–1815); it was in recognition of John's military service as Colonel of the Gordon Highlanders, and his death in action at the Battle of Quatre-Bras, that the baronetcy was created.
