Escutcheon of the Baird baronets of Newbyth, in a recorded form referencing the Order of the Crescent[1]

The Baird baronetcy of Newbyth, second creation, in the County of Haddington, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 13 April 1809 for the soldier David Baird, grandson of William Baird, a younger son of Sir Robert Baird, 1st Baronet, of Saughtonhall. His father, William Baird, had inherited the Newbyth estate in 1745 on the death of Sir John Baird, 2nd Baronet, of the 1680 creation. The baronetcy was created with remainder to Baird's elder brother Robert Baird and the heirs male of his body. Sir David Baird died childless and was succeeded, according to the special remainder by his nephew David Baird, the second Baronet.[2] At the death of the 6th Baronet in 2022, his fourth cousin, Sir Andrew James Baird became the 7th Baronet in April 2023.
