Baron Burton

The title was in honour of his father (who was then still alive), and was created with remainder to his younger brother Hamar Alfred Bass.

In 1886 Bass was further honoured when he was raised to the peerage as Baron Burton, of Rangemore and of Burton-on-Trent in the County of Stafford, with remainder to the heirs male of his body.

Her eldest son from her first marriage, George Evan Michael Baillie, was a Brigadier in the British Army, but was killed during the Second World War.

Lady Burton was therefore succeeded by her grandson[3] (the son of George Evan Michael Baillie),[4] the third holder of the barony.

From about 1870, Glenquoich Estate was rented by Lord Burton, and "at his hands it has had careful nursing, with all the benefits and advantages of large outlays in numerous improvements, for even in the single matter of roads alone upwards of a hundred and thirty miles of carriage drives and pony tracks have been made, by which means the lodge on the shore of Loch Quoich has been placed in communication with all parts of the deer ground".
