This is one of those rarish 19th-century titles with the format "Baron X of Y, in the County of Z" (see the example given in territorial designation). It was obviously needed for uniqueness (there was already a Dukedom of Gordon held by the Dukes of Richmond and a Viscountcy of Gordon held by the Earls of Aberdeen, not to mention the "Gordon of Somewhere" Lordships held by the Marquesses of Huntly).
