Meet Sir James Baird

Sir James Baird, 11th Bt. of Saughtonhall

As his title implies, Sir James is the 11th baronet of the House of Saughtonhall. A baronet is a hereditary title, senior to most knighthoods, and entitling the bearer to the prefix "sir". Saughtonhall is the senior stirp (family or branch) of Bairds descending from the Bairds of Auchmedden. As head of that family he is also the person regarded to have the best claim to inherit the Coat of Arms of Auchmedden and thus become Chief of Clan Baird.
