This was so cool, that I immediately googled around to learn about this. I'd never heard of the Baronetcies of Nova Scotia. A little tidbit of Nova Scotia history that was neglected in my Upper Canadian education.
I found the earliest MacGregor title was created in 1795 (MacGregor of MacGregor of Lanwick). Which actually makes this a Baronetcy of Great Britain not Nova Scotia, but of course The MacGregor could have gotten his Baronetcy through succession of a different creation.
And I see that the MacGregors have quite a history, being banned from using their own surname? I've got more reading to do!
