The title Lord Ochiltree was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1543 for Andrew Stewart, a son of the 1st Lord Avandale, a descendant of Murdoch Stewart, 2nd Duke of Albany by the feudal baron of Morphie. Andrew Stewart was also the brother of the 1st Lord Methven.

At the death of the 2nd Lord there were two possible heirs: his grandson who was created Baron Castle Stuart in the Peerage of England(?not really?) or Ireland. At the death of the 5th Baron the barony became dormant in 1685. The 9th Baron (de jure) was officially restored to the barony (?) and created Earl Castle Stewart / Stuart in 1800. The subsidiary title of the earldom is Viscount Castle Stuart / Stewart (1793). Both titles are created in the Peerage of Ireland.

The Lordship of Parliament was finally gained by another grandson of the 2nd Lord by the son who had gained the Earldom of Arran for a short time. At the death of the 5th Lord it became extinct in 1675.

The courtesy title of the earl's (Castle Stuart) is Viscount Stuart.
