The Cameron baronetcy, of Fassiefern and Callart in the County of Argyll and of Arthurstone in the County of Angus, was gazetted in 1815,[1] but not created until 8 March 1817, for Sir Ewen Cameron whose son was John Cameron of Fassiefern (1771–1815); it was in recognition of John's military service as Colonel of the Gordon Highlanders, and his death in action at the Battle of Quatre-Bras, that the baronetcy was created.[2]
