'''Earl of Kinnoull''' (sometimes spelled '''Earl of Kinnoul''') is a title in the [[Peerage of Scotland]]. It was created in 1633 for [[George Hay, 1st Earl of Kinnoull|George Hay, 1st Viscount of Dupplin]]. Other associated titles are: ''Viscount Dupplin'' and ''Lord Hay of Kinfauns'' (1627) and ''Baron Hay of Pedwardine'' (1711). The former two are in the Peerage of Scotland, while the third is in the [[Peerage of Great Britain]]. The title of '''Viscount Dupplin''' is the [[courtesy title]] for the Earl's eldest son and heir.<ref name="dict">{{cite book|title=A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerage and Baronetage of the British Empire| volume=42|date=1880|publisher=[[Henry Colburn]]|page=708|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=u6IaAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA708}}</ref>

==History==

The Hay clan descends from Norman-born knight [[William II de Haya|Guillaume de la Haye]], who was [[Butler of Scotland|pincerna]] (cup bearer or butler) to [[Malcolm IV]] and [[William the Lion]]. [[Charles I of England|Charles I]] advanced [[George Hay, 1st Earl of Kinnoull|Sir George Hay]] to the peerage on 4 May 1627 under the titles of '''Lord Hay of Kinfauns''' and '''Viscount Dupplin'''. On 25 May 1633, Hay was created the '''Earl of Kinnoull''' by King [[Charles I of England|Charles I]].<ref name="peerage">{{cite book|author=James Balfour Paul|author-link=James Balfour Paul|title=The Scots Peerage|date=1908|publisher=D. Douglas|pages=220–223}}</ref>

The Hay family share a common ancestor with the [[Earl of Erroll|Earls of Erroll]]. [[Gilbert II de la Hay|Gilbert de la Hay]] (died April 1333), ancestor of the Earls of Erroll, was the older brother of William de la Hay, ancestor of the Earls of Kinnoull. In 1251, William received a charter of two [[carucate]]s of land from his brother, which was confirmed by King [[Alexander III of Scotland|Alexander III]].<ref name="peerage"/>

In 1711, the unofficial prime minister [[Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer]], made his son-in-law [[George Hay, 8th Earl of Kinnoull|Viscount Dupplin]] '''Baron Hay of Pedwardine''' in the [[Peerage of Great Britain]].<ref>{{cite web|title=HAY, George, Visct. Dupplin (aft.1683-1758), of Pedwardine, Herefs.|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/member/hay-george-1683-1758|publisher=[[Parliament of Great Britain]] |access-date=3 April 2015}}</ref> This gave him and his successors an automatic seat in the House of Lords, which the earldom did not entitle them to until the [[Peerage Act 1963]] extended that right to all holders of Scottish peerages.

The family seat is [[Dupplin Castle]], just outside [[Perth, Scotland]], and Kinnoull is a neighbourhood of Perth.
