I get 200 google results for "Viscount of Formartine" and 350 for "Viscount Formartine," many of the latter being copies of our content. ugen64 06:31, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Cracroft's agrees with you ("13th Viscount of Formartine (Scotland, let. pat. 30 Nov 1682)"). Proteus (Talk) 10:50, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Interesting. Another question: is the courtesy title "Viscount Formartine"? I know sometimes people change their courtesy titles for random reasons... ugen64 03:35, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Probably. The "of" in Scottish viscountcies is very rarely used for courtesy titles (in fact, off hand, I can't think of an example where it definitely is used). I suppose they think it'd just be confusing, because people aren't used to viscountcies with "of" in the title. Proteus (Talk) 10:16, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)
