The lands of Abercromby lie in Fife.
The earliest record of the name is found in 1296 when William de
Abercromby did homage to Edward I of England for his lands in Fife.
His line became extinct in the middle of the seventeeth century,
so the line passed to the house of Abercromby of Birkenbog in Banffshire.
The lands of Birkenbog were originally church lands. In 1362 the
Earl of Mar confirmed to Alexander Abercromby his grant of lands
by the Bishop of Aberdeen. In 1637 his eldest son, Alexander Abercromby
of Birkenbog, was made a Baronet of Nova Scotia.
