Constable Maxwell-Scott baronets

The Haggerston were recusant in the 17th century and the estates were sequestered and forfeit to the Commonwealth of England in 1649 but were repurchased by the first Baronet in 1653.

Winifred was considered to be the heiress to the Scottish lordship of Herries of Terregles held (de jure) by her father.

His grandson, William Constable-Maxwell, managed to claim the lordship in 1848, when the descendants of the fifth Earl of Nithsdale (who had been attainted) were restored in blood by Act of Parliament.

He was the father of Michael Fergus Constable Maxwell-Scott, who succeeded his kinsman as thirteenth Baronet in 1972.

The heir presumptive to the baronetcy is the 14th Baronet's younger brother, Matthew Joseph Constable Maxwell-Scott (born 1976).
