Leslie Baronets
There have been four baronetcies created for persons with the surname Leslie, one in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia, one in the Baronetage of Ireland, one in the Baronetage of Great Britain and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Three of the creations are extant as of 2010.

He was a descendant of the Leslies of Balquhain, from whom the Leslie Counts of the Holy Roman Empire are also descended (see Clan Leslie). On the death of the second Baronet in 1645, the title reverted to his uncle, William Leslie. However, he declined to assume the title as he would not also inherit the Wardis estate. His four sons all died childless. The title was assumed in circa 1800 by John Leslie, the fourth Baronet. He was a descendant of Norman Leslie, younger brother of the third Baronet. The presu ...

Earl Of Aboyne
Earl of Aboyne is a title in the Peerage of Scotland, borne in the Gordon family (see the Marquess of Huntly for earlier history of the family). There is some contemporary evidence that this title was first created for James Gordon, 2nd Viscount Aboyne during the Civil War, but this creation is not recorded in peerage sources. The title was created (or revived) on 10 September 1660 for Lord Charles Gordon, fourth son of George Gordon, 2nd Marquess of Huntly, and Viscount Aboyne's younger brother. He was made Lord Gordon of Strathaven and Glenlivet at the same time, also in the Peerage of Scotland. His great-great-grandson (the titles having descended from father to son), the fifth Earl, succeeded as Marquess of Huntly in 1836, since when the earldom has been held as a subsidiary title. Earl of Aboyne is now a courtesy title used by the heir apparent to the Marquessate of Huntly. Earls of Aboyne (1660) *Charles Gordon, 1st Earl of Aboyne (died 1681) *Charles Gordon, 2nd Ear ...
