He was given the subsidiary title of Lord Rosehill and Eglismauldie (or Inglismaldie) at the same time.

Carnegie had already been created Earl of Ethie and Lord Lour in 1647 but relinquished those titles in exchange for the 1662 creations.

He was succeeded by his son, the tenth Earl, who served as a Scottish representative peer from 1900 to 1921.

The fourteenth Earl was one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that were allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999, and sat on the Conservative benches.
