• This earldom is recorded in the Scottish Barony Register (SBR public list of 9 August 2026) as Aboyne (Earldom and Lordship), County of Aberdeen, registered 10th October 2008, with the holder shown as Private. The holder's name is taken from the Registry of Scots Nobility (Baronage list, 2026), which lists "Aboyne (Earl of Aboyne)", Christiano Amhold Simoes, succeeded 2008, and cites no documents.
• No document naming the holder has been seen by the Roll, and no recognition by a Lord Lyon of any holder of this earldom is known. Please verify this entry free of charge the Roll is non-profit.
• The Earldom of Aboyne in the Peerage of Scotland was created by patent of 10th September 1660 to Lord Charles Gordon, "Earl of Aboyne and Lord of Strathaven and Glenlivet"; he "had charters from King Charles II, on 14 April 1662 and 19 November 1676, incorporating the lands and lordships of Aboyne, Glentanner, and others into an earldom" (The Scots Peerage, vol. I, p. 102). Those charters post-date the printed Register of the Great Seal and have not been seen. The 5th Earl of Aboyne became 9th Marquis of Huntly in 1836, and the peerage earldom continues with that title (The Scots Peerage, vol. IV, pp. 557–559). How the earldom lands passed out of the family has not been shown to the Roll.

A note on terminology: “Scottish feudal barony” or “feudal title” is an incorrect, defunct historical term for extant barons. Baronies were feudal until 28 November 2004, when feudal baronies were abolished and the dignity of baron was retained — an extant barony is no longer “feudal”. The correct term is Scottish barony or Scottish baron (or baron, lord or earl in the Baronage of Scotland, collectively the minor barons of Scotland); never “feudal baron”. Why the term is defunct →
