Stuart-Menteth baronets

The Stuart-Menteth Baronetcy, of Closeburn in the County of Dumfries and Mansfield in the County of Ayr, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 11 August 1838 for Charles Stuart-Menteth. The third baronet was a naturalised American.[1][2]

Arms of Stuart-Menteth baronets: Quarterly, 1st & 4th: Or a bend chequy argent and sable; 2nd & 3rd: Azure, three buckles or, all within a bordure gules

The Menteths descend from ancient Earls or Mormaers of Menteith, and more specifically from the marriage in 1260 of Mary, Countess of Menteth with Walter Bailloch Stewart, son of Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland. The Stuart name was not adopted until 1770, when the first baronet's father, Rev. James Meneth, adopted the name and arms from his cousin Charles Stuart in order to inherit his estates.[3]
