Earl of Northesk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Earl of Northesk was created in 1662 for John Carnegie in the Peerage of Scotland. Carnegie had in 1647 been created Earl of Ethie and Lord Lour, but later he relinquished that titles in exchange for another. In 1662 he gained the Earldom of Northesk, named after the River Esk in Angus, while his older brother David became 1st Earl of Southesk. For the purposes of precedence and seniority, the Earldom of Northesk is treated as having been created in 1647, the date of the creation of the Earldom of Ethie.
The present Earl of Northesk also holds the titles of Lord Rosehill and Lord Eglismauldie, both in the Peerage of Scotland.
The family seat is Ethie Castle, near Arbroath, Scotland.
