Earl of Kintore

Earl of Kintore

The title Earl of Kintore was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1677 for Sir John Keith, along with the title of "Lord Keith of Inverurie and Keith Hall". At the death of William, the fourth Earl, in 1761 the earldom became dormant as no-one could prove a claim to it. In 1778, it was decided that the earldom should pass to Anthony Adrian Falconer, "Lord Falconer of Halkerton", who changed his surname to Keith-Falconer. The Lordship of Falconer of Halkerton and the Earldom of Kintore remained united until 1966, when, at the death of the tenth Earl, the Lordship became dormant.

The eleventh holder of the title, Ethel Sydney Keith-Falconer, married John Baird, 1st Viscount Stonehaven. At the death of Lord Stonehaven, the titles "Viscount Stonehaven" (created 1938), and "Baron Stonehaven" (1925), both in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, as well as the Baronetcy of Urie, passed to the couple's son, James, who changed his name to Keith upon inheriting his mother's title.

The family seat is Keith Hall, near Inverurie, Aberdeenshire.

The usual title of the earl's eldest son is "Lord Inverurie".
