Sir Robert Dickson, 1st Baronet

Sir Robert Dickson (died October 1711), first holder of the baronetcy of Dickson of Sornbeg, was a shire commissioner of the Parliament of Scotland for the constituency of Edinburghshire from 1702 to 1707, who voted for the Union.

He was created a baronet of Nova Scotia on 28 February 1695 when he was described as being of Sornbeg in Galston, Ayrshire, but later acquired a large estate in Inveresk.

[1] A couple of publications[3] however announced in 1760 that a David Dickson "of Derrymore, King's County", Ireland, had succeeded to the baronetcy.

Nevertheless, for this reason the baronetcy of Dickson of Sornbeg is sometimes described as dormant rather than extinct.
