My interrogatory comment wasn't directed at you in particular - since
I thought the point you had made was worth following up - but to the
everlasting stream of quotes from mass-media ninnies like Tony
Robinson (save for the interesting notes in reply from William Black),
and now queries about visiting museums in Athens & so on....

Chris Phillips & a few others have surely dealt adequately with this
matter, which is based on a speck of old dust floating in thin air.

As the holder of a Scottish earldom, Loudoun would not have been
entitled to a seat in the Lords from that peerage anyway. By the way,
possibly John Steele Gordon's edition of Whittaker's Almanack
pre-dates the seperation of this title from the marquessate of
Hastings.
