Earl of Dunmore

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title Earl of Dunmore was granted in 1686 to the Lord Charles Murray, son of John Murray, 1st Marquess of Atholl. The earldom is in the Peerage of Scotland, as are two associated subsidiary titles, namely, Viscount of Fincastle and Lord Murray of Blair, Moulin and Tillimet. Furthermore, the Earldom is associated with the title Baron Dunmore, created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1831 for the fifth Earl and was held until the death of the ninth Earl in 1980.

The Earl is in distant remainder to the marquisate of Atholl and its subsidiary titles but not the Dukedom and its subsidiary titles.
