The

It was created on 5 May 1702 for George Suttie. The third and fourth Baronets both sat as Members of Parliament for
Haddingtonshire
. The latter assumed the additional surname of Grant on succeeding to the estates of his aunt,
Janet, Countess of Hyndford
, daughter of
William Grant, Lord Prestongrange
. Francis Grant-Suttie, second son of the fifth Baronet and grandfather of the eighth Baronet, was a
captain
in the

A large number of the family lie buried in the old parish churchyard of
North Berwick
. The graves lie in three locations: within the church ruins; on the south side of the church; and against the south boundary. All graves are in very poor condition.
