Awards
The title was created on April 21, 1639 for Robert Dalzell, 2nd Lord Dalzell . Along with the earliest dignity, he was given the subordinate title of Lord Dalzell and Liberton . As early as 1635/36 he had inherited the title of Lord Dalzell from his father , which he had been awarded on September 18, 1628. When the 4th Earl died in 1702, the title fell to his third-degree nephew Sir Robert Dalzell, 3rd Baronet, as 5th Earl. This already 1689 the title of Baronet, of Glenae in the County of Dumfries , which had been awarded on April 11, 1666 in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia to his grandfather, a brother of the 1st Earl. This very 5th Earl took part in the Jacobite revolt of 1715 and was therefore ostracized ( Bill of Attainder ) and his title was revoked. His grandson, Robert Dalzell , had the title restored by the Act of Parliament on May 26, 1826. The titles finally expired on the death of his descendant, the 13th Earl, on March 9, 1941.
