Dick baronets

The Dick baronetcy in Prestonfield, Edinburgh was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia for James Dick. Initially created in 1677, it was renewed in 1707 and merged with the Cunningham of Lambrughton, Ayrshire baronetcy in 1829. The family seat was Prestonfield House, Edinburgh. Sir William Dick, 2nd Baronet and Sir Alexander Dick, 3rd Baronet were the younger sons of Sir William Cunningham, 2nd Baronet (of Lambrughton) and his wife Janet Dick, the daughter and heiress of Sir James Dick, 1st Baronet. Both brothers changed their surname to Dick on inheriting Prestonfield in turn.

The Dick-Cunyngham baronetcy of Lambrughton, Ayr was created in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia for John Cunningham in 1669. Merged with the Dick baronetcy in 1829 it became extinct in 1941. From 1683 the family seat was at Caprington, Ayrshire and from 1740 at Prestonfield.
