Earl of Hyndford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Earl of Hyndford was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1701 for John Carmichael, 2nd Lord Carmichael, (Secretary of State for Scotland 1696-1707). His grandfather had previously been created a baronet in 1627 and Lord Carmichael in 1647. The subsidiary titles of the earldom were Viscount of Inglisberry and Nemphlar and Lord Carmichael (both 1701).
On the death of Andrew Carmichael, the 6th Earl, on April 18, 1817, the peerage became dormant.
