- Viscount Younger of Leckie
Viscount Younger of Leckie, of Alloa in the County of Clackmannan, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1923 for the Unionist politician George Younger. He had already on 12 July 1911 been created a Baronet, of Leckie in the County of Clackmannan, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. His grandson, the third Viscount, served as Lord Lieutenant of Stirlingshire (renamed Stirling and Falkirk in 1975) from 1964 to 1979. His son, the fourth Viscount, was a prominent Conservative politician. In 1992, five years before he succeeded his father, he was created a life peer as Baron Younger of Prestwick, of Ayr in the District of Kyle and Carrick. As of 2006 the Baronetcy and Viscountcy are held by his son, the fifth Viscount.
