Earl of Loudoun
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Earl of Loudoun (pronounced "Looden"), named after Loudoun in Ayrshire, is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1633 for John Campbell, 1st Earl of Loudoun, along with the subsidiary title Lord Tarrinzean and Mauchline.
The 6th Countess married the 2nd Earl of Moira, who was later created Marquess of Hastings. The next three Earls also held that Marquessate. However, with the death of the 4th Marquess, the Marquessate became extinct, but the Earldom passed to the elder daughter of the 2nd Marquess.
The heir apparent to the Earldom uses the courtesy title Lord Mauchline.
