The Erskine Baronetcy, of Torrie in the County of Fife, was created in the Baronetage of Great Britain on 28 July 1791 for the soldier William Erskine. He was the grandson of Colonel the Hon. William Erskine, younger son of David Erskine, 2nd Lord Cardross (see Earl of Buchan).[1]

His eldest son, the 2nd Baronet, was also a prominent soldier, and as well Member of Parliament for Fifeshire.[2] The latter's two younger brothers, the 3rd and 4th Baronets, both succeeded in the title. The title became extinct on the death of the 4th Baronet in 1836.
