David Hay, 14th Marquess of Tweeddale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles David Montagu Hay (b. 1947) is a British peer. He is 14th Marquess of Tweeddale. He inherited the title from his brother, Edward, a twin, who is best remembered for his speech in the House of Lords on the Bosnian Civil War.
[edit] Twin brothers succeeding as peers
The 14th Marquess's distinction is largely in being one of the few British peers to be preceded by an older twin brother. Similarly, the 3rd Earl of Durham (1855-1928 was succeeded in 1928 by his younger twin brother, the 4th Earl (1855-1929). The 3rd Viscount Knutsford (1855-1935) also succeeded an older twin, the 2nd Viscount (1855-1931 dspm) on 27 July 1931.
Although the 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow and the 2nd Baron Glendevon (formerly Lord John Hope) were twins, both were succeeded by their sons.
[edit] Heir
The heir is the current Marquess' younger brother, Alastair, Master of Tweeddale.
