The title needs changing to "George Home, Earl of Dunbar" because there were no other Earls of Dunbar of this creation. It was just him. So to say "1st" is erroneous. David Lauder 16:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Apparently he was gazetted "Baron Home of Berwick". That would indicate an English peerage as we don't have patented barons in Scotland, only Lords of Parliament. David Lauder 19:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Neither the Earldom or the barony are mentioned in Edmund Lodge's 1858 Peerage (he was Norroy King of Arms); Burke's Family Index (London 1976) cites them as "Dormant and Extinct". The Lord Lyon would not pronounce on an English baronage. Unless clearly verifiable sources are given we should not accept Christina Kaye's assertions. David Lauder 13:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
