Earl of Wigtown

Two peerages of Scotland

The title of Earl of Wigtown was created twice in the Peerage of Scotland. The first creation was in 1341 for Malcolm Fleming of Clan Fleming, and was surrendered in 1372, when the second Earl sold the Earldom and territory to Archibald the Grim, Lord of Galloway. The transfer was confirmed by Robert III later in the same year. The Douglas family, Earls of Douglas, held the Earldom of Wigtown for the next hundred years, until the attainder of the 9th Earl of Douglas in 1455.
