Earl of Eglinton

Earl of Eglinton

The title Earl of Eglinton is a peerage title in the Peerage of Scotland. In 1859 the thirteenth Earl of Eglinton, Archibald Montgomerie, was also created Earl of Winton in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, and both earldoms have been united since. Furthermore, other titles are held with the Earldoms are: "Lord Montgomerie" (created 1449), "Baron Ardrossan" (1806) and "Baron Seton and Tranent" (1859). The first is in the Peerage of Scotland, while the latter two are in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

The Earl of Eglinton is the hereditary Clan Chief of Clan Montgomery.

The family seat was Eglinton, near Ayr, Scotland.

William Dunbar mentions a Sir Hugh of Eglinton in his "Lament for the Makaris", citing him as a fellow poet. He has sometimes been tentatively identified as Huchown, but this is not certain.
