Earl of Portmore
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earl of Portmore was a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1703 for Sir David Colyear, 2nd Baronet along with the titles of Lord Colyear and Viscount of Milsington (also in the Peerage of Scotland). Colyear had already been created Lord Portmore in the Peerage of Scotland in 1699. The Baronetcy, of Holland, had been created in the Baronetage of England on 20 February 1677 for Alexander Colyear. All of the titles became extinct on the death of the fourth Earl in 1835.
