Baron Lyell

Baron Lyell

Baron Lyell, of Kinnordy in the County of Forfar, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1914 for the Scottish Liberal politician Leonard Lyell. He had already been created a Baronet, of Kinnordy in the County of Forfar, in 1894. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the third Baron, who succeeded his father in 1943. Lord Lyell is one of the ninety-two elected hereditary peers that remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act of 1999, and sits on the Conservative benches.

The first Baron Lyell was the nephew of the geologist Sir Charles Lyell, 1st and last Baronet, of Kinnordy.
