The Ford Baronetcy, of Westerdunes in the County of East Lothian, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 27 July 1929 for the Unionist politician Patrick Ford.[2] He represented Edinburgh North in the House of Commons from 1920 to 1923 and 1924 to 1935. As of 2021[update], the title is held by his grandson, the third Baronet, who succeeded his father in 1989.
