*The MacGregor baronets (after 1795), descend from John Murray (a name taken by some of the MacGregors following a dispute with the authorities in 1603. Rob Roy belonged to this clan).
The baronets are :
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir John Murray, 1st Baronet (1745-1822), later MacGregor Murray (took over the family name in 1822)
Major-General Sir Evan John Murray-MacGregor, 2nd Baronet (1785-1841)
Sir John Atholl Bannatyne Murray-MacGregor, 3rd Baronet (1810-1851), of Lanrick and Balquhidder[3].
Rear-Admiral Sir Malcolm Murray-MacGregor, 4th Baronet (1834-1879)
Captain Sir Malcolm MacGregor, 5th Baronet (1873-1958)
Brigadier Sir Gregor MacGregor, 6th Baronet (1925-2003)
Sir Malcolm Gregor Charles MacGregor, 7th Baronet (b. 1959)
The presence of the baron's tortilla under the crest clearly indicates baronet membership.
The motto: "S Rioghal Mo Drheam" despite the absence of the "D"!
