Baron Forteviot, of Dupplin in the County of Perth, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1917 for the Scottish businessman and Liberal Member of Parliament, Sir John Dewar, 1st Baronet. He was Chairman of the brewing firm John Dewar and Sons and also represented Inverness-shire in the House of Commons. Dewar had already been created a baronet in 1907. As of 2010 the titles are held by his grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 1993 (who in his turn had succeeded his half-brother in 1947).
