Sir Robert John Abercromby, 7th Baronet

[1] The Abercrombys also owned land in Ireland after the 5th Baronet bought most of the town of Fermoy from the estate of fellow Scotsman John Anderson after his death in 1820.

The 7th baronet is recorded as the owner of 434 acres of land in County Cork during the 1870s[4][5] and Fermoy House is listed as the family seat in Ireland.

[5] Inchdrewer Castle also formed part of his inheritance and MacGibbon and Ross list it in his ownership in 1887.

He also undertook the roles of Justice of the Peace and Commissioner of Supply for both Banffshire and Aberdeenshire, although he was less active within the jurisdiction of the latter.

[1] The estate passed to his eldest son, George William Abercromby (born 18 March 1886), who at the time was nine years old.
