The Edmonstone Baronetcy, of Duntreath in the County of Stirling, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created 20 May 1774 for Archibald Edmonstone, 11th of Duntreath, Member of Parliament for Dunbartonshire and Ayr Burghs. He was succeeded by his third but eldest surviving son, the second Baronet. He represented Dunbartonshire and Stirlingshire in the House of Commons. On his death the title passed to his eldest son, the third Baronet. He was a writer and traveller. He died without surviving issue and was succeeded by his half-brother, the fourth Baronet. He was an admiral in the Royal Navy and Member of Parliament.
The family seat is Duntreath Castle, Blanefield, Stirlingshire; The castle was a gift from Robert III of Scotland. The 7th Baronet and his second wife Julie run the Castle as a venue for weddings and garden lectures.
The Edmonstones have ancient links to Kings of Scotland. They are descendants of Robert III of Scotland through his daughter Mary Stewart, Princess of Scotland, who married Sir William Edmondstone of Culloden and first of Duntreath (d. 1460), in 1425. She had a son with him, named Sir William Edmonstone of Duntreath. Sir William Edmonstone, 4th Baronet was the father of Alice Keppel (née Alice Frederica Edmonstone), the great-grandmother of Queen Camilla, wife of King Charles III. Elyssa Edmonstone, daughter of the 7th Baronet, married Archduke Sigismund of Austria, (titular) Grand Duke of Tuscany, in 1999.
