Lord Haddo (right) with George Hay, 16th Earl of Erroll

George Gordon, Lord Haddo (28 January 1764 – 2 October 1791) was a Scottish Freemason and the eldest son of George Gordon, 3rd Earl of Aberdeen.[1]

On 18 June 1782, Haddo married Charlotte Baird (d. 8 October 1795) a sister of Sir David Baird, Bt. and they had seven children:[2]

Haddo was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Scotland from 1784 to 1786. In this capacity he laid the foundation stone of South Bridge, Edinburgh on 1 August 1785. [3]

He predeceased his father in 1791 and on the latter's death in 1801, the earldom passed to Haddo's eldest son, George.[2]

Legacy[edit]

Haddo Peak in the Canadian Rocky Mountains was named in his honour.
