Earl of Carnwath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title of Earl of Carnwath was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1639. The 6th earl was attainted and the peerage forfeit in 1716, due to the earl's Jacobitism and support for the Fifteen, but the attainder was reversed in 1826 by the heir to the earldom, who styled himself 10th earl. The peerage became dormant upon the death of the 17th earl in 1941.

The Earls bore the subsidiary title of Lord Dalzell (1628).
