[edit]I'm assuming the Scottish titles have a standard remainder but I can't clarify atm. I have split the two lordships which should really have their own article but who was the first holder of the 1641 title. Alci12 22:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
second heir apparent
[edit]Why isn't the Master of Stormont listed as "Lord Scone"? —Tamfang (talk) 23:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
- The heir-apparent to a viscountcy (as such) never gets a courtesy peerage, nor does the second heir-apparent to an earldom. —Tamfang (talk) 22:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Master of Stormont
[edit]I would not list "Master of Stormont" as a subsidiary title, because the Earl does not hold it. The title Master of X belongs to the heir (apparent or presumptive) to the title Lord X (edit 2023: or Lord Blank of X). Calling it a subsidiary title of the earldom is like saying Duke of Rothesay is a subsidiary title of the monarch. —Tamfang (talk) 01:58, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Tamfang: that is a very good point. On a related topic, perhaps the titles Lord Scone and Lord Balvaird should be added as subsidiary titles, if you feel that would be suitable. Those two titles were held by successive Viscounts Stormont from the fourth Viscount Stormont onward; later, David Murray, 7th Viscount Stormont (1727–1796) succeeded as Earl of Mansfield in 1793. — Blairall (talk) 18:54, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed, done. I did not link Lord Scone because that redirects to Stormont. —Tamfang (talk) 03:49, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
sequence of sequences
[edit]The present earl is listed as "9th and 8th". Is that how he is described in authoritative sources? As he is 8th of the senior creation and 9th of the junior, one might expect "8th and 9th". —Tamfang (talk) 00:02, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
