The title Earl of Linlithgow was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1600 for Alexander Livingstone, 7th Lord Livingston, along with the subsidiary title Lord Livingston and Callendar. In 1695 the Earldom merged with the junior Earldom of Callendar, created in 1641 for a younger son of the 1st Earl. The 5th Earl of Linlithgow (and 4th Earl of Callendar) was attainted in 1716 for his participation in the Fifteen and all his peerages were forfeit. The seat of the Earls of Linlithgow was Callendar House in Falkirk, now a museum.
