The earliest record of a [[Barons in Scotland|barony]] at Errol dates to around 1180 when [[David I of Scotland|King David I]] granted the lands to William de Haya, establishing the powerful [[Clan Hay|De Hay of Errol]] family. The de Hayas held the barony and became influential Scottish nobles throughout the [[Middle Ages]].
In 1452, [[William Hay, 1st Earl of Erroll|Sir William Hay of Errol]] was raised to the peerage as the 1st [[Earl of Erroll]] for his family's long service to the Scottish Crown. The Earldom of Erroll became a feudal title when he was also granted the territorial Earldom of Errol, centred on the family's lands.
Subsequent Earls of Errol played prominent roles in Scottish affairs. The family supported both the Crown and the [[Jacobitism|Jacobite]] cause at different times. The [[Francis Hay, 9th Earl of Erroll|9th Earl]] led a Catholic revolt in the 1590s. Several Earls served as the chiefly role of [[Lord High Constable of Scotland]].
In the early 20th century, the de Hay family sold parts of their estate, including the feudal Earldom title. It was purchased by [[Sir John Ellerman|Sir John Reeves Ellerman]], a wealthy shipowner. Following the [[Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000|Abolition of Feudal Tenure Act 2000]], the feudal title was separated from any attached lands.
== Current status ==
Under [[Scots law]], the dignity and noble title of Earl of Errol continues to exist and is current owned by David Willien, although unattached to lands. The [[Lord Lyon King of Arms]] recognises the feudal dignity and any new holder would be able to apply to the [[Court of the Lord Lyon|Lyon Court]] for a coat of arms.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Quast |first=Familienverband der Freiherren von |date=2020-06-15 |title=Note on the Petition of George Menking – Nobiliary law – Adelsrecht – Droit nobiliaire |url=https://freiherrvonquast.wordpress.com/tag/note-on-the-petition-of-george-menking/ |access-date=2024-04-28 |website=Nobiliary law - Adelsrecht - Droit nobiliaire |language=nl}}</ref>
The Earldom of Errol remains one of the oldest and most prestigious noble titles originating in Scotland. Though the lands have passed to others, the ancient feudal title endures as a symbol of the illustrious Errol family and their heritage.
