{{short description|Extinct baronetcy in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom}} {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2021}} The '''Haggerston''', later '''Maxwell-Scott Baronetcy''',<ref>{{cite web |title=Official Roll of the Baronetage (Baronets) |url=https://www.baronetage.org/official-roll/ |website=Standing Council of the Baronetage |access-date=23 January 2026 |language=en}}</ref> of Haggerston in the County of Northumberland, was created in the [[Baronetage of England]] on 15 August 1642 for Thomas Haggerston, of Haggerton Castle, [[Northumberland]], a loyal [[Cavalier|Royalist]] who served as a colonel in the army of [[Charles I of England|King Charles I]] (for information on the early history of the Haggerston family see [[Haggerston Castle]]). The Haggerston were [[recusant]] in the 17th century and the estates were [[sequestration (law)|sequestered]] and forfeit to the [[Commonwealth of England]] in 1649 but were repurchased by the first Baronet in 1653. The line of the fourth Baronet failed on the death of the twelfth Baronet in 1972. The title reverted to the line of William Haggerston, second son of the third Baronet and younger brother of the fourth Baronet. In 1746 he inherited estates in Yorkshire from his great-uncle Sir Marmaduke Francis Constable, 4th and last Baronet, of Everingham (see [[Constable baronets]]), and assumed the surname of Constable in lieu of his patronymic. In 1758 he married Winifred, daughter of Robert Maxwell, titular sixth [[Earl of Nithsdale]], and assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Maxwell. Winifred was considered the heiress to the Scottish [[Lord Herries of Terregles|lordship of Herries of Terregles]] held (''de jure'') by her father. Constable-Maxwell built a new house at Everingham Park on the Constable estate in Yorkshire.
His grandson, William Constable-Maxwell, managed to claim the lordship in 1848, when the descendants of the fifth Earl of Nithsdale (who had been attainted) were restored in blood by an Act of Parliament. His eldest son, the eleventh Lord, died without male issue and was succeeded in the lordship by his eldest daughter (see the Lord Herries of Terregles for further history of this title). In 1874 the tenth Lord's third son the Hon. Joseph married Mary Monica, daughter of J. Robert Hope Scott by his wife Charlotte Lockhart, granddaughter and heiress of [[Walter Scott|Sir Walter Scott]], the great author (see [[Scott baronets]]). Joseph's eldest son was created a baronet in his own right in 1932 (see below). Joseph's third son Malcolm Joseph Raphael Constable Maxwell-Scott was a [[Rear-Admiral]] in the [[Royal Navy]]. He was the father of Michael Fergus Constable Maxwell-Scott, who succeeded his kinsman as thirteenth Baronet in 1972. The present Baronet is also in remainder to the lordship of Herries of Terregles, a title held by his kinswoman Jane Kerr, 16th Lady Herries of Terregles.

==Extended family== The '''Constable-Maxwell-Scott Baronetcy''', of Abbotsford in Melrose in the County of Roxburgh, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 23 June 1932 for [[Walter Maxwell-Scott]]. The [[territorial designation]] was a revival of the title held by his ancestor [[Walter Scott|Sir Walter Scott]]. Constable-Maxwell-Scott had no sons and on his death in 1954 the baronetcy became extinct.
