The title Baron Strabolgi (pronounced "Strabogie") is a very ancient one in the Peerage of England. It was created in 1318 for the tenth Earl of Atholl, David of Strathbolgie, also called David de Strabolgi. At the death of the twelfth earl in 1369, when the barony went into abeyance between the Earl's many coheirs, where it remained for over 158 years. The Sovereign finally terminated the abeyance in favour of Edward Burgh in 1496, but at the death of Robert, 8th Baron Strabolgi, in 1602, the barony went into abeyance again, along with another barony he held, the Barony of Burgh. The abeyance was ultimately terminated again in favour of Cuthbert Kenworthy in 1916, after over 314 years. The Barony of Burgh was also called out of abeyance in that year, but in favour of a different heir.
