Ogilvy-Wedderburn baronets

The Wedderburn, later Ogilvy-Wedderburn Baronetcy, of Balindean in the County of Perth, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom created in 1803.

His grandfather Peter Wedderburn had in 1811 married Anna, daughter and heiress of James Ogilvy, and assumed the surname of Wedderburn-Ogilvy on the death of his father-in-law in 1826.

The heir apparent to the baronetcy is Peter Robert Alexander Ogilvy-Wedderburn (born 1987), eldest son of the 7th Baronet.

[6] In 1769 it was purchased by John Wedderburn,[7][8] who had rebuilt the family fortune by slave sugar plantations in Jamaica.

In 1820 his son, the 1st baronet sold the Balindean estate to William Trotter, later Lord Provost of Edinburgh, for £67,000.
