This title ("Baron of Gregal") isn't a peerage dignity, it's more of a
territorial designation. A family named Kynninmond (or one of its many
variations) apparently held the property at Gregal.

Margaret Stuart, *Scottish Family History* [reprinted Baltimore:
Genealogical, 1978], p. 231, provides a list of places where you can find
information on the Kinninmond family.
