Tour Scotland 4K travel video, with Scottish fiddle music, of part of a sunny, but very cold, Winter snow road trip drive on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Strathmore, Britain, United Kingdom. The area known as Strathmore, Gaelic: An Srath Mòr, is a valley that runs from North East to South West between the Grampian mountains and the Sidlaw Hills. The first recorded history of this region dates to Roman times when the Romans established a series of marching camps generally extending in a south to north direction to support the invasion and exploration northward. Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne is a title in the Peerage of Scotland and the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was first created as Earl of Kinghorne in the Peerage of Scotland in 1606 for Patrick Lyon. In 1677, the designation of the earldom changed to Strathmore and Kinghorne. A second earldom was bestowed on the 14th Earl in the Peerage of the United Kingdom in 1937, leading to him being titled as the 14th and 1st Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Aside from the earldoms, the Earl holds the subsidiary titles: Viscount Lyon created in 1677, Lord Glamis, Tannadyce, Sidlaw and Strathdichtie created in 1677, Lord Lyon and Glamis created in 1606, Lord Glamis created in 1445 and Baron Bowes created in 1887 of Streatlam Castle, in the County of Durham, and of Lunedale, in the County of York, England. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother born 1900, died 2002 was the daughter of the 14th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, and the sister of the 15th Earl. The established history of Clan Lyon states that the family is of French origin, with the original name de Leonne. The family's earliest recorded possessions, the thanages of Glamis, Glamis, Tannadyce and Belhelvies, were in a Celtic stronghold, while government positions held by family chiefs would have required fluency in Gaelic. The first recorded family member, John Lyon, Lord of Glamis, was a courtier and diplomat, who was appointed Keeper of the Privy Seal in 1371 on the accession of Robert II. He acquired significant lands, and on 18 March 1372, Robert II granted him "the free barony of Glamuyss in the sheriffdom of Forfar." Glamis has remained the seat of the family ever since.
