This creation became extinct on the death of his son, the eighth Earl and second Baron, in 1884.
The barony was revived only a few months after it first became extinct[2] in favour of the late Earl's uncle, James Ogilvy-Grant, 9th Earl of Seafield (who had also succeeded him in the baronetcy of Colquhoun; see Colquhoun baronets for earlier history of this title).
The earldom, which could be passed on to female heirs, was inherited by the Earl's daughter and only child, the twelfth Countess (see the Earl of Seafield for later history of the earldom).
The baronetcy and barony of Strathspey, which could only be inherited by males, were passed on to the Earl's brother, the fourth Baron.
As of 2023[update] the titles are held by the latter's younger son, the seventh Baron, who succeeded in 2023.
