Baron Newlands, of Newlands and Barrofield in the County of the City of Glasgow and of Mauldslie Castle in the County of Lanark, was a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 19 January 1898 for the soldier Sir William Hozier, 1st Baronet. He had already been created a baronet in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 12 June 1890.[1]
He was succeeded by his only son James, the 2nd Baron, who had represented Lanarkshire South in the House of Commons from 1886 to 1906 and served as Lord-Lieutenant of Lanarkshire from 1915 to 1921. He was childless, and the titles became extinct on his death on 5 September 1929.[2]
Sir Henry Montague Hozier (1838–1907), younger brother of the 1st Baron, was a Colonel in the 3rd Dragoons and the legal father of Clementine Churchill, wife of Winston Churchill.[2]
