Baron Percy
The title Duke of Atholl was created several times in British history. The present title is of Queen Anne's creation in 1703.
The Duke holds numerous subsidiary titles. These include: Marquess of Atholl (created 1676), Marquess of Tullibardine (1703), Earl of Atholl (1457), Earl of Tullibardine (1676), Earl of Strathtay and Strathardle (1703), Viscount of Balquhidder (1676), Lord Murray of Tullibardine (1604), Lord Murray, Balvenie and Gask (1676) and Baron Percy (1722). The Barony of Percy is in the peerage of Great Britain; all other titles are in the peerage of Scotland. The Duke's eldest son and heir's courtesy title is Marquess of Tullibardine. Before 1963, the Duke of Atholl had the dubious honor of being the highest ranking peer without a seat in the House of Lords.
