Home > Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne

Aside from the Earldoms, the Earl holds the subsidiary titles: Viscount Lyon (created 1677), Lord Glamis, Tannadyce, Sidlaw and Strathditchie (1677) and Baron Bowes (1887). The first two are in the Peerage of Scotland; the last is in the Peerage of the UK. The eldest son of the Earl uses as Lord Glamis as a courtesy title. Normally, the highest subsidiary title (in this case Viscount Lyon) would be used, but the same is not done so as not to cause confusion with the Lord Lyon.
