The Ritchie baronetcy, of Highlands and of Queensborough-terrace, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 15 December 1903 for James Thomson Ritchie, who served as Lord Mayor of London from 1903 to 1904. [1] He was the elder brother of Charles Ritchie, 1st Baron Ritchie of Dundee. [2]

After Sir James Thomson Ritchie's death in 1912, his son, businessman James William Ritchie, made claim to the title, which was accepted. [3] However, he was created a baronet in his own right in 1918 "to regularize an informality in the previous title." [4] The Ritchie baronetcy, of Highlands, was created for him in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 23 January 1918. [5] He was chairman of the Milners' Safe Company. This title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet in 1991.
