The follow note is stored against Alexander Ramsay record:
Son of Thomas BURNETT, 1708-1783, and Catherine RAMSAY, 1728-1798, Sir Alexander Ramsay, 1st. Baronet of Balmain, was born Alexander BURNETT on 30 July 1757. He assumed the surname of RAMSAY after inheriting the baronetcy of Balmain from his mother's brother Alexander Ramsay-Irvine 13 May 1806. He died at 'Fasque', just outside Fettercairn on 17 May 1810. Strangely, instead of becoming the 7th. Baronet of Balmain as seemed logical, Alexander Ramsay became the 1st. Baronet of Balmain in what, presumably, was deemed to be a new incarnation of the Ramsay baronetcy after it had briefly become dormant.
