Lord Aston of Forfar was a title in the Peerage of Scotland. The barony was created on 28 November 1627 for Sir Walter Aston, Bt, who had previously been created Baronet of Tixall Hall, Staffordshire (in the Baronetage of England) on 22 May 1611.
On the death of the 5th Lord, on 24 August 1751, the Tixall Baronetcy became extinct. However, the title fate of the Aston of Forfar barony is unclear.
Sir John Bernard Burke believed the original letters patent stated that on the failure of the 1st Lord's line, the title should pass to his brother and his heirs.
Walter Aston, 1st Lord Aston of Forfar, had a sister, Anne, who married Ambrose Elton, Esq., of The Hazle, Ledbury, Herefordshire. Elton served as Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1618, and was a graduate of Brasenose College, Oxford, which his ancestors had founded.
After the 5th Lord
With the death of the 5th Lord, the main line of the family, and the Baronet title, became extinct.
Philip, Walter, and the legitimate senior claimant, all died without male issue. The two claims to the title were then reunited in a single person: Walter Aston; Philip and Walter's first cousin.
Following Walter's death, the title passed to his only son, the clergyman Walter Aston.
