Name of this article
editSee From WP:NCNT#Other_non-royal_names#4:
- Baronets, as they hold hereditary titles, often for a large part of their lives, follow the same practice as hereditary peers and should have their title noted in the beginning of the article. The format is Sir John Smith, 17th Baronet. For the article title, this format should only be used when disambiguation is necessary; otherwise, the article should be located at John Smith. John Smith, 17th Baronet should never be used with the postfix and without the prefix.

- On that basis, it should probably be at Ian Anstruther. I'll move it there.
- In future, please would you fix double redirects when you move an article - currently, Ian Anstruther redirects to Sir Ian Fife Campbell Anstruther, 8th Baronet, which redirects to Ian Fife Campbell Anstruther. -- !! ?? 20:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

- Do any "reliable sources" indicate that he held only two baronetcies, not three? The cited sources (and the above) indicate the latter. -- !! ?? 10:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- Rayment. - Kittybrewster (talk) 10:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- It may be worth adding a note that he claimed (and was widely reported as holding) three, but Rayment says two, and that is likely to be consistent with what is understood to be the terms of the original grant. -- !! ?? 20:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
- I think User:Choess is checking this with the SCB. - Kittybrewster (talk) 21:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

the succession
edit- Due to differences between English law and Scottish law, one son, Sebastian (born prior to his parents' marriage), inherited the Scottish title, becoming 9th Baronet of Balcaskie and 11th Baronet of Anstruther (both being Nova Scotia or Scottish Baronetages).
If English law were the same, would the Scottish title have gone to someone else? (And why is "title" singular?) Needs rephrasing. —Tamfang (talk) 16:34, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
Sir Richard Broun (ambiguous link)
editThe Baronets' Champion seems to be about a 19th century figure. Reference inThe Scotsman. This probably means Sir Richard Broun, 8th Baronet, but I cannot be sure and have not changed the article. Narky Blert (talk) 12:22, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
