Earl of Ormonde (Scottish)

The title Earl of Ormonde was twice created in the Peerage of Scotland, both times for members of the Douglas family. The first creation was in 1445 for a brother of the 8th and 9th Earls of Douglas. He forfeited the earldom in 1455, at the same time as the 9th Earl of Douglas lost his titles.

The second Scottish creation was in 1651, and became extinct in 1715.

The title Marquess of Ormonde has also existed several times in the Peerage of Scotland, although the "Ormond" here is not the Irish district, but Ormond Castle at Avoch in the Black Isle, held by the Douglas family when they first obtained the title. Between 1488 and 1504 it was a subsidiary title of the Dukes of Ross, until the latter's extinction in 1504. It was created a second time in 1600 as a subsidiary title for the future King Charles I, the Duke of Albany. The title merged with the crown in 1625, and there it has remained.
