Tyrone, and succeeded his grandfather, Sir Robert Barclay, the 8lh Baronet, in 1819. The ancestors of this family were of distinction in Ayrshire as early as the 12th century. The estate of Pierston was acquired about 1444, by the marriage of Robert Barclay with the youngest daughter of Sir William Douglas. The dignity of Baronet was conferred in 1668 on Sir Robert Barclay, Knt., of Pierston, son of William Barclay of Pierston and descended in regular succession to the present Sir Robert Barclay, the 9th Baronet.
