The title of Earl of Cromartie (pronounced "Crum-aty") has been created twice.
The title was first created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1703 for George Mackenzie, 1st Viscount of Tarbat. The 3rd Earl took part in the 'Forty-Five and was convicted of high treason in 1746, and thus all his peerages were forfeit.
The title was created for the second time in 1861 for Anne Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland (wife of the 3rd Duke), with a remainder to her second son.
Lord Cromartie bears the subsidiary titles Viscount Tarbat, of Tarbat in the County of Cromartie (1861), Baron Macleod, of Castle Leod in the County of Cromartie (1861), and Baron Castlehaven, of Castlehaven in the County of Cromartie (1861), all in the Peerage of the UK.
The family seat is Castle Leod, near Dingwall in Ross-shire.
