History
The fifth Earl took the Jacobite rebellion in 1745 in part; He was therefore declared by decision of Parliament of his titles forfeited.

He had fought on the side of the king during the uprising and later acquired the lands of the Earls.
Its great-grandson, the sixth Baronet, in 1855 reached a repeal of the Act of Parliament. He was so under inclusion of his ancestors to the ninth Earl. In 1869 he was also appointed in the Peerage of the United Kingdom baron Bali Hard, which was unlike the titles belonging to the peerage of Scotland, automatically a seat in the House of Lords connected.
The 11th Earl married Princess Maud of Fife, the younger daughter of Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife, and Princess Louise, the eldest daughter of King Edward VII This Dukedom was bestowed with the express provision that they are also on the daughters of the Dukes and their male descendants could go on. After the death of his grandfather and his aunt Princess Alexandra, the only son of the 11th Earl was therefore in 1959 the Duke of Fife. His mother was already deceased at this time. Died in 1992 the 11th Earl and his son was now 12th Earl of Southesk. Since then, the earldom and other titles subordinate title of the Duke of Fife are.
