Lord Kinnaird

Lord Kinnaird was a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1682 for George Kinnaird. The ninth Lord was created Baron Rossie, of Rossie in the County of Perth, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1831, with normal remainder to the heirs male of his body. In 1860 he was made Baron Kinnaird, of Rossie in the County of Perth, also in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, with special remainder to his younger brother, Arthur. Lord Kinnaird had no surviving male issue and the barony of Rossie became extinct on his death in 1878. He was succeeded in the Scottish lordship and barony of Kinnaird by his younger brother, Arthur, the tenth Lord. The eleventh Lord was a leading footballer and President of The Football Association. The titles became dormant upon the death of the thirteenth Lord in 1997.
