Baron Cochrane of Cults

Title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom

Baron Cochrane of Cults, of Crawford Priory in the County of Fife, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1919 for the Liberal Unionist politician and former Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, the Hon. Thomas Cochrane. He was the second and youngest son of Thomas Barnes Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald. As of 2017[update] the title is held by the first Baron's great-grandson, the fifth Baron, who succeeded his father in that year. The fifth Baron is also third in line to the Earl of Dundonald.

Two other members of this branch of the Cochrane family have also gained distinction. Captain the Hon. Sir Archibald Douglas Cochrane, second son of the first Baron, was a naval commander and politician. Air Chief Marshal the Hon. Sir Ralph Cochrane, youngest son of the first Baron, was a notable Royal Air Force commander. Commodore the Honourable Michael Cochrane OBE Royal Navy, younger son of the fourth Baron, has continued the family tradition of Royal Navy service.

The family seat is Cults House, near Cupar, Fife. The former was Crawford Priory, also in Fife.
