[07] The Last Peers
Since our website is concerned with Scots armigers, we thought was time for a look at a few of the members of the Peerage of Scotland.
[08] Roxburghe
The Duke of Roxburghe His creation was the last dukedom and the very last addition to the Peerage of Scotland.
[09] Annandale
The Marquess of Annandale

[10] Ilay
The Earldom of Ilay being extinct is not listed in Appendix B, The Union Role of 1960. (pp 159-160, “The Sixteen Peers of Scotland”, Sir James Fergusson of Kilkerran, Bt., 1960 )
[11] Primrose
The Viscounty of Primrose then became a subsidiary title of the Earl of Rosebery.
[12] Polwarth
The current holder is Andrew Walter Hepburne-Scott, 11th Lord Polwarth, born in 1947, his heir is the Hon. William Henry Hepburne-Scott, Master of Polwarth born in 1973 and his heir is his son Harry Walter Hepburn-Scott born in 2010. So, the succession to this peerage looks good.
