Initially created in 1677, it was renewed in 1707 and merged with the Cunningham of Lambrughton, Ayrshire baronetcy in 1829.
The Dick-Cunyngham baronetcy of Lambrughton, Ayr was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia for John Cunningham in 1669.
The baronetcy was never proved in law; it was recognised by Walford's County Families, Douglas' Baronage, and Dod's and Debrett's Peerages, but not Burke's.
[1] In 1873, The Herald and Genealogist found no contemporary evidence that Sir William Dick of Braid had received a baronetcy.
[1] Chamberlayne's Present State of Great Britain, upon which John Dick's 1768 claim was founded, described the baronetcy as extinct.
