Leith-Buchanan baronets

The Leith, later Leith-Buchanan baronetcy, of Burgh St Peter in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain.[2] It was created on 21 November 1775 for Alexander Leith, Member of Parliament for Tregony.[3][4][5] The Leith family is of Scottish origin and descends from William Leith, Provost of Aberdeen in the 14th century.[4]

The 3rd Baronet married Jemima, daughter of Hector Macdonald Buchanan; their son the 4th Baronet assumed the additional surname of Buchanan in 1877.[3][4] The title is marked dormant on the Official Roll of the Baronetage.[6]
