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!
You are quite correct in that Sir Malcolm MacGregor MacGregor is not a Baronet of Nova Scotia, but rather of the UK. Looking closer at the photo, you can just make out the blue stipes on the ribbon, and the Red Hand on the badge. Thank you!
