Erskine baronets of Cambo (first creation, 1666)

The Erskine baronetcy, of Cambo in the County of Fife, was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 20 August 1666 for Charles Erskine. He was a younger brother of Alexander Erskine, 3rd Earl of Kellie.

The 2nd Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Fife. The 8th Baronet succeeded to the earldom of Kellie in 1797. The baronetcy remained a subsidiary title of the earldom until the baronetcy's extinction in 1829, after the deaths of Thomas Erskine, 9th Earl of Kellie and then his brother Methven in 1829. The overlapping Erskine baronets of Cambo (second creation, 1821) was set up in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.
