Talk:Lord Nairne

Uncited text

There was a paragraph in s:911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Nairne, Carolina, Baroness on this lordship, so I have used that to put in place cited text for this article. In doing this I have removed some text from this article which was not cited:

Lord Nairne is a title in the Peerage of Scotland, which since 1995 is held by the Viscount Mersey. It was created in 1681 for the Scottish lawyer Sir Robert Nairne, with remainder to his son-in-law Lord William Murray, fourth son of John Murray, 1st Marquess of Atholl. Nairne notably served as a Lord of Session and a Lord of the Justiciary. He was succeeded according to the special remainder by his son-in-law, the second Lord. He was involved in the Jacobite rising of 1715 and was attainted. His son John Nairne, the de jure third Lord, was also attainted for his role in the rising of 1715. After having the attainder partially reversed he was again attainted for his participation in the Jacobite rising of 1745. In 1721, Nairne was created "Viscount of Stanley" and "Earl of Nairne" in the Jacobite Peerage by James Francis Edward Stuart, the "Old Pretender". In 1824 his grandson William Nairne managed to obtain a reversal of the attainder, and became the fifth Lord.

Some of this information may be accurate and some of it is already back in the article as it exists in the text copied from EB1911, that which was not needs attributing to a reliable source. -- PBS (talk)

Lord or baron

The text I copied from the EB1911 article used the title "Baron Nairne" I have left that in the text and will leave the decision on what to use (Lord or Baron) to another editor who knows more about this particular title than I. -- PBS (talk) 10:28, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Numbering

I am concerned the numbering of the Lordship because of the various brakes in continuity. I think that a reliable source is needed to fix the numbering of the Lordship in the 20th century to see if it agrees with the numbering used here. -- PBS (talk) 10:28, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
