The title Earl of Stair was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1703 for John Dalrymple. Dalrymple was a member of the Scottish Parliament; he actively supported William III's claim to the throne. He also served as Secretary of State for Scotland, but was forced to resign after he authorised the massacre of Glencoe. In 1703, after he had returned to the Scottish Parliament, he was given an Earldom. Other titles held by the Earls of Stair are: Viscount of Stair (created 1690), Viscount Dalrymple (1703), Lord Glenluce and Stranraer (1690), Lord Newliston (1703) and Baron Oxenfoord (1841). All titles are in the Peerage of Scotland, except for the barony, which is in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.
