Maitland baronets of Clifton (1818)
The Maitland, later Gibson-Maitland, later Ramsay-Gibson-Maitland, later Maitland baronetcy, of Clifton in the County of Midlothian, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 30 November 1818 for General the Hon. Alexander Maitland. He was the fifth son of Charles Maitland, 6th Earl of Lauderdale.[1] The 2nd Baronet assumed the additional surname of Gibson. The 3rd Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Midlothian. He assumed the additional surname of Ramsay. The 5th Baronet and his successors have used the surname of Maitland only.
As of 2024 the Official Roll marks the baronetcy dormant.[2]
