	Viscount Falkland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		The title Viscount of Oxfuird was created in 1651 for Sir James Makgill, Baronet, along with the subsidiary title of Lord Makgill of Cousland,with remainder to heirs male whomsoever, a Scottish concept that permitted inheritance by persons not descended from the original grantee,but descended in the male line from male-line ancestors of the grantee.
		Thereafter, the matter was generally left alone, until the de jure tenth Viscount actively pressed his claim to the viscountcy and baronetcy.
		John Makgill's successors also petitioned to revive the viscountcy, but their claims were not admitted until 1977, when Sir John Donald Arthur Alexander Makgill was declared 12th Viscount of Oxfuird.

		Among them was the 2nd Viscount Ullswater, who had inherited his title from his great-grandfather half a century earlier, when he was seven.
		He owes his return to the compromise negotiated by the former shadow Leader of the Lords, Viscount Cranborne, under which 92 places would be reserved for hereditary peers until the Government got round to introducing the second stage of its Lords reforms.
		By the time Viscount Oxfuird died in January, creating a vacancy for a hereditary peer, ministers had made no progress at all with Stage Two - indeed, only last month the Commons rejected every one of a range of options put forward by a joint parliamentary committee set up to find a way forward.

		As the noble Viscount, Lord Oxfuird, pointed out, there is no doubt that exports remain a very large part of our total economic activity: namely, more than 25 per cent.
		As my noble friend Lord Oxfuird observed in opening the debate, whatever the strength of sterling, it is the duty of all of us working in the manufacturing sector to do everything we can to optimise export sales.

		In voting Tuesday and Wednesday, some 700 lawmakers in the House of Lords, most of them commoners, chose the 14th Viscount from 81 former Lords expelled when Blair's government began a chaotic and unfinished process of reforming the tradition-bound upper chamber of Parliament.
		Those former Lords are known as hereditary peers, meaning they inherited their seats as members of the upper class.

	Politics \| Irvine gloom on Lords reform
		Prospects for the reform of the House of Lords darkened yesterday after the lord chancellor, Lord Irvine, implied that it might be impossible for parliament to reach a consensus on the issue.
		The government also faces the embarrassing prospect of a byelection among hereditary peers to choose a replacement for the Viscount of Oxfuird, whose death opens a gap in the ranks of the hereditary peers allowed to continue as active members of the upper house.
		Allowing such byelections was a concession forced on the government when it abolished the right of most hereditary peers to sit in the Lords.
