Viscount Falkland

The title Viscount Falkland was created in 1620 for Sir Henry Cary, in the Peerage of Scotland, along with the subsidiary title of Lord Cary. Theoretically, since all Viscounts in the Peerage of Scotland use "of" in their titles, the Viscount should be the Viscount of Falkland. However, most Scottish Viscounts have dropped the practice of using "of." The only ones who persist in the usage of the word are the Viscount of Arbuthnott, and, to a lesser extent, the Viscount of Oxfuird.
