Earl of Aboyne

Earl of Aboyne

Earl of Aboyne is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created on 10 September 1660 for Lord Charles Gordon, fourth son of George Gordon, 2nd Marquess of Huntly (see the Marquess of Huntly for earlier history of the family). He was made Lord Gordon of Strathaven and Glenlivet at the same time, also in the Peerage of Scotland. His great-great-grandson (the titles having descended from father to son), the fifth Earl, succeeded as Marquess of Huntly in 1836, since when the earldom has been held as a subsidiary title. Earl of Aboyne is now a courtesy title used by the Heir apparent to the Marquessate of Huntly.
