Baron Keith

The title Baron Keith has been created several times.

Elphinstone creation

It was created three times for George Keith Elphinstone, a younger son of Charles Elphinstone, 10th Lord Elphinstone. He was created Baron Keith in the Peerage of Ireland in 1797, and Baron Keith in the Peerage of the United Kingdom on 15 December 1801. He was created Baron Keith in the Peerage of the United Kingdom a second time on 17 September 1803, with a special remainder to allow his daughter to succeed, as he had no sons. Finally, he was created Viscount Keith in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.

He died on 10 March 1823, when the viscountcy and 1801 barony became extinct, while the 1797 and 1803 baronies passed to his daughter. These titles became extinct on her death on 11 November 1867.
