NUMBERING

"It has recently been determined that Margaret Abernethy, 10th Lady Saltoun, succeeded her brother, Alexander Abernethy, 9th Lord Saltoun, in 1668, but only survived him by about six weeks and had not previously been counted in the title's numbering. This new information has resulted in the ordinals in subsequent Lords Saltoun being revised. As a result, the later heirs to the title are often referenced with the incorrect numbering."
