Marquess of Linlithgow

The Marquess of Linlithgow is a hereditary title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, created by letters patent on 27 October 1902 for John Adrian Louis Hope, 7th Earl of Hopetoun, as a promotion recognizing his administrative roles including Governor of Victoria and first Governor-General of Australia.^[1]^[2] The title, which includes subsidiary honours such as Earl of Hopetoun and Viscount Aithrie, is held by the Hope family of Scottish origin, whose ancestral seat is Hopetoun House near South Queensferry in West Lothian.^[1]^[2] The current holder is Adrian John Charles Hope, 4th Marquess (born 1 July 1946), who succeeded his father in 1987 and resides on the estate.^[3]^[2] Preceding marquesses include Victor Alexander John Hope, 2nd Marquess (1887–1952), who served as Viceroy and Governor-General of India from 1936 to 1943—the longest such tenure—and oversaw Britain's declaration of war on behalf of India in 1939 amid rising independence pressures.^[2]

Pre-Marquessate Titles

Earldom of Hopetoun (1703)

The Earldom of Hopetoun was created on 15 April 1703 in the Peerage of Scotland for Charles Hope (c. 1681–1742), with the subsidiary titles of Viscount of Aithrie and Lord Hope, the latter a reference to the family name.^[4]^[5] The patent specified remainder to the heirs male and female of his body, an unusual provision for Scottish peerages at the time which typically followed strict male primogeniture.^[6] Hope, the son of John Hope, a prosperous merchant and laird who had acquired the Hopetoun estate in West Lothian and initiated construction of Hopetoun House in 1699 under architect Sir William Bruce, owed his elevation to family wealth, political service, and support for the impending union with England.^[2] Prior to the peerage, Charles had served as Member of Parliament for East Lothian from 1702 to 1703, advocating for the Act of Union passed in 1707, which integrated Scotland into the Kingdom of Great Britain.^[7] As 1st Earl, Hope was appointed a representative peer for Scotland in the House of Lords from 1708 to 1710 and again from 1715, reflecting his alignment with the post-Union establishment.^[8] He married Lady Henrietta Johnstone, daughter of the 1st Marquess of Annandale, in 1707, linking the family to other noble Scottish houses and producing several children, including John Hope, who succeeded as 2nd Earl upon his father's death on 26 February 1742.^[4] The earldom's early holders expanded the family's influence through military service, land management, and political roles; the 2nd Earl (1704–1781) rose to the rank of general in the British Army and served as Governor of Blackness Castle.^[9] Succession proceeded through male lines, with occasional assumptions of additional surnames for inheritance, such as the 3rd Earl James Hope-Johnstone (1741–1816), a younger son of the 2nd Earl who briefly held the title after the death of an elder brother without issue.^[5] The title endured through six further successions, marked by the family's accumulation of estates in West Lothian and military contributions, including during the Napoleonic Wars under holders like the 4th Earl John Hope (1765–1823), a lieutenant-general who commanded forces in Portugal and Spain.^[10] By the 19th century, the earldom had become a senior title in the Hope lineage, with Hopetoun House serving as the principal seat, expanded in the 1720s by William Adam.^[2] The 7th Earl, John Adrian Louis Hope (1860–1908), held the title until his elevation to marquess in 1902, after which it passed to his son as a courtesy title within the higher marquessate.^[11]

*Note: The 6th Earl's tenure was brief due to his death shortly after succession; dates verified from peerage records.^[5]^[6]

Barony of Niddry (1814)

The Barony of Niddry was created in the Peerage of the United Kingdom on 3 May 1814 for General John Hope (1765–1823), a British Army officer who had served with distinction during the Napoleonic Wars, including as colonel of the 92nd Regiment of Foot (Gordon Highlanders) from 1806 to 1814.^[9] The title was styled Baron Niddry, of Niddry Castle in the County of Linlithgow (now West Lothian), recognizing Hope's contributions to military campaigns such as the Walcheren Expedition in 1809, where he commanded a brigade, and his prior political role as Member of Parliament for Linlithgowshire from 1796 to 1800.^[12] This peerage elevated Hope to the rank of a United Kingdom baron, granting him a seat in the House of Lords independent of his Scottish titles, at a time when the end of the war with France prompted several such honors for military figures; the creation aligned with the Treaty of Paris signed on 30 May 1814, which concluded hostilities.^[9] The barony derived its name from Niddry Castle and the associated lands in Linlithgowshire, which the Hope family had acquired in the late 17th century when John Hope of Hopetoun purchased the barony from the Earl of Winton around 1680, establishing a longstanding connection to the estate.^[13] Hope held the barony until his death in 1823, after succeeding his half-brother as 4th Earl of Hopetoun in 1816; the title then passed to his son, John James Hope, who became 5th Earl of Hopetoun and merged it with the family's Scottish peerages.^[9]^[12] As a United Kingdom peerage, the Barony of Niddry remains a subsidiary title of the Marquessate of Linlithgow, providing continuity in the Hope lineage's representation in the British peerage system post the Act of Union.^[14]

Creation of the Marquessate

Elevation Under Edward VII (1902)

On 27 October 1902, King Edward VII elevated John Adrian Louis Hope, 7th Earl of Hopetoun, to the rank of marquess by letters patent, creating the title Marquess of Linlithgow in the Peerage of the United Kingdom.^[15]^[16] The new marquessate was named for Linlithgowshire (also known as West Lothian), the Scottish county linked to the Hope family's ancestral estates, including Hopetoun House near Edinburgh.^[2] This advancement raised Hope from the rank of earl to marquess, one of the highest non-royal peerages, reflecting the British tradition of rewarding prominent aristocrats for public service with enhanced hereditary honors.^[15] The elevation formed part of the broader Coronation Honours list announced in anticipation of Edward VII's coronation on 26 June 1902, though formalized post-ceremony amid the king's recovery from illness.^[15] Hope's promotion was principally in recognition of his tenure as the inaugural Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia, a position he held from 1 January 1901 to 9 January 1903, during which he oversaw the federation's early transition from colonial status.^[2]^[17] Prior roles, such as Governor of Victoria (1889–1895) and Lord Chamberlain (1895–1899), further underscored his administrative experience within the British Empire.^[2] Hope's return to Britain in July 1902, prompted by financial strains and the controversial "Hopetoun Blunder"—his initial commission of New South Wales Premier William Lyne to form Australia's first federal government, bypassing the preferred Edmund Barton—did not preclude the honor.^[17] Despite criticism over the blunder's procedural misstep and escalating costs of the vice-regal office, which exceeded £10,000 annually against a £10,000 salary, the elevation affirmed official appreciation for his foundational contributions to Australian governance.^[17] The title's creation ensured the Hope lineage's prominence in the House of Lords, where marquesses held precedence over earls, aligning with Edward VII's pattern of distributing peerage upgrades to loyal imperial servants.^[15]

Heraldry and Insignia

Coat of Arms and Supporters

The coat of arms borne by the Marquess of Linlithgow derives from the ancient Hope family heraldry, blazoned as Azure, on a chevron Or between three bezants a laurel leaf Vert.^[18] This design, featuring a blue field with a golden chevron between three gold roundels charged by a green laurel leaf, symbolizes the lineage's Scottish origins and has been matriculated for the Earls of Hopetoun since the family's ennoblement. The arms were confirmed in this form upon the creation of the marquessate in 1902, maintaining continuity with prior peerages held by the Hope family.^[19] The full heraldic achievement includes the coronet of a British marquess, comprising four gold strawberry leaves alternating with four silver balls atop a circlet of gold roses, pearls, and strawberry leaves. Supporters granted to the marquessate in 1902 consist of two female figures proper, habited in classical attire, each resting the exterior hand upon an anchor Or and holding in the dexter hand a staff entwined with a serpent proper; these emblems evoke the Christian virtue of hope, with the anchor as its traditional symbol and the staff alluding to Hermes' caduceus in familial or mercantile contexts.^[20]^[21] The supporters were specifically matriculated by the Court of the Lord Lyon for the 1st Marquess, John Adrian Louis Hope, reflecting the elevation's heraldic privileges under Scots law.^[20]

Motto and Crest

The motto of the Marquess of Linlithgow, borne by the Hope family of Hopetoun, is the Latin phrase At spes non fracta, translating to "Yet my hope is unbroken." This motto reflects the enduring optimism associated with the family name and has been used by the Craighall branch of the Hopes since at least the 17th century, as evidenced in family heraldry records.^[22]^[23] The crest features a broken terrestrial globe surmounted by a rainbow issuing from clouds at each end, all proper, symbolizing hope emerging from adversity. This emblem is mounted upon the marquess's coronet, a silver-gilt circlet adorned with eight strawberry leaves, four pearled points, and four silver balls between the leaves, as per British peerage conventions.^[24]^[25] The full heraldic achievement integrates the crest above the shield, with the motto often appearing on a scroll beneath, emphasizing fidelity to the themes of resilience and aspiration central to the family's identity.^[22]

Principal Residences and Estates

Hopetoun House and Associated Lands

Hopetoun House, situated near South Queensferry on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth in West Lothian, Scotland, serves as the principal seat of the Marquess of Linlithgow and has been the ancestral home of the Hope family since its construction.^[2] The original house was designed by Sir William Bruce, Scotland's leading classical architect of the late 17th century, with building commencing in 1699 and completing by 1707 for Charles Hope, who was created 1st Earl of Hopetoun in 1703.^[2] ^[26] This initial phase produced a compact, symmetrical mansion in the style of English Restoration architecture, featuring a central block with a pedimented entrance and a prominent dome over the principal staircase.^[27] From 1721, the house underwent significant enlargement under the direction of William Adam, Scotland's master of Georgian architecture, who added east and west wings between 1721 and 1748, transforming it into one of the grandest country houses in Britain with a U-shaped plan and elaborate Palladian detailing.^[2] ^[28] Adam's sons—John, James, and Robert—completed the interiors after 1748, incorporating ornate plasterwork, carved woodwork, and painted ceilings that drew on classical and Baroque influences.^[2] Further internal alterations occurred between 1816 and 1823 under the 4th Earl of Hopetoun, John Hope, enhancing the domestic spaces while preserving the overall symmetry.^[2] The house remains occupied by the family, with the current Earl of Hopetoun, son of the 4th Marquess, residing there, underscoring its continuous role as the core of the marquessate's patrimonial holdings.^[2] The associated lands form the expansive Hopetoun Estate, encompassing approximately 6,500 acres of mixed terrain in West Lothian, bounded by the Forth Estuary to the north and incorporating villages such as Philpstoun and Newton.^[29] ^[30] This includes around 100 acres of formal parkland and designed landscape immediately surrounding the house, featuring terraced gardens, avenues, and scenic walks, as well as roughly 970 acres of woodland managed for sustainability, providing timber, fuel, and Christmas trees.^[29] ^[26] The remaining acreage consists primarily of farmland supporting livestock such as beef cattle, sheep, and poultry, alongside game for estate use, with operations emphasizing heritage preservation—including three scheduled ancient monuments and over 30 listed buildings—and environmental stewardship.^[29] Historically, the estate absorbed several pre-existing properties held by the Hope family, such as Philpstoun, Staneyhill, Morton, Duntarvie, Midhope, Craigton, and others, consolidating lands acquired from the late 17th century onward across East and West Lothian.^[31] By the 18th century, under the 3rd Earl, these holdings had expanded significantly, forming the basis of the family's regional influence tied to the Earldom of Hopetoun and later the marquessate.^[2] In 1974, the 3rd Marquess established the Hopetoun House Preservation Trust to safeguard the house and estate for public access and long-term viability, while retaining family oversight of the lands.^[28]

Holders of the Title

John Adrian Louis Hope, 1st Marquess (1860–1908)

John Adrian Louis Hope was born on 25 September 1860 at Hopetoun House near South Queensferry, West Lothian, Scotland, the eldest son of John James Hope, 6th Earl of Hopetoun, and Lady Mary Ellen Bruce.^[11] Upon his father's death in July 1873, he succeeded at age 12 as the 7th Earl of Hopetoun, Viscount Aithrie, Lord Hope, and Baron Niddry.^[2] Educated at Eton College and the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, he passed out in 1879 but opted not to pursue a military career, instead managing family estates.^[32] Hope entered politics as a Conservative peer, serving as a whip in the House of Lords from 1883 and as Lord-in-Waiting to Queen Victoria from 1885 to 1886.^[33] He acted as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1886 and 1887, roles that underscored his prominence in Scottish affairs.^[33] In 1889, at age 29, he was appointed Governor of Victoria, Australia, serving until 1895 amid economic challenges including the 1890s depression; his administration focused on administrative stability without major reforms.^[11] As the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia from 1 January 1901 to 9 January 1903, Hope presided over the federation's inauguration in Melbourne on 1 January 1901, administering oaths to key figures.^[33] His tenure included the controversial "Hopetoun Blunder," in which he invited New South Wales Premier William Lyne—opposed to free trade—to form the initial ministry, leading to Lyne's failure and the eventual appointment of Edmund Barton; this stemmed from Hope's misjudgment of colonial preferences but did not derail federation.^[33] He resigned in 1903 citing financial strains, as the £10,000 salary proved insufficient for the role's demands without personal funding.^[11] In recognition, King Edward VII elevated him to Marquess of Linlithgow on 23 October 1902, with subsidiary titles including Earl of Hopetoun and Viscount Aithrie.^[2] Hope married Ethelreda Henrietta Colthurst (née Tollemache), widow of William Hare, 3rd Earl of Listowel, on 12 October 1878; they had three sons, including Victor Alexander John Hope, later 2nd Marquess, and two daughters.^[34] He received honors including Knight of the Thistle (KT), Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG), Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO), and Privy Counsellor (PC).^[32] Suffering from pernicious anemia, he died on 29 February 1908 at Pau, France, aged 47, and was buried at Hopetoun House.^[11]

Victor Alexander John Hope, 2nd Marquess (1887–1952)

Victor Alexander John Hope was born on 24 September 1887 at Hopetoun House in West Lothian, Scotland.^[35] He received his education at Eton College.^[36] Following the death of his father, John Adrian Louis Hope, the 1st Marquess of Linlithgow, in 1908, he succeeded to the marquessate and associated titles, including Earl of Hopetoun and Baron Hope of Thirsk.^[37] On 19 April 1911, he married Doreen Maud Milner, the younger daughter of Sir Frederick George Milner, 7th Baronet; the couple had five children, including twin sons born in 1912—Charles William Frederick Hope, who later became the 3rd Marquess, and John Hope, created 1st Baron Glendevon—and three daughters.^[35] ^[36] During the First World War, Hope served as a captain in the Lothians and Border Horse Yeomanry and later commanded a battalion of the Royal Scots Fusiliers on the Western Front, earning military citations and rising to the rank of colonel by war's end.^[36] After the war, he entered Conservative politics as a Unionist peer in the House of Lords. He held junior government positions, including Civil Lord of the Admiralty from 1922 to 1924 under Stanley Baldwin.^[36] In 1926, he chaired the Royal Commission on Indian Agriculture, which investigated rural economic conditions and produced recommendations for agrarian reform.^[36] From 1933 to 1934, he led a committee examining constitutional reforms for India, whose findings informed the Government of India Act 1935, establishing provincial autonomy and federal structures.^[36] Appointed Viceroy and Governor-General of India in 1936, Hope held the position until October 1943, marking the longest tenure of any viceroy at over seven years.^[36] He oversaw the implementation of the 1935 Act's provincial provisions following 1937 elections, managed escalating communal tensions between Hindu and Muslim leaders, and directed India's war effort after Britain's 1939 entry into the Second World War, expanding the Indian Army to approximately two million personnel.^[36] Amid Japanese advances in Asia, he declared India's involvement in the war without provincial consultation, prompting the Congress Party's ministries to resign; civil disobedience escalated, leading to the arrest of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru along with thousands of Congress members, and the temporary suspension of constitutional elements to maintain security.^[36] Upon returning to Britain in 1943, Hope served as Chancellor of the University of Edinburgh and Chairman of the Midland Bank.^[36] He died on 5 January 1952 at age 64, collapsing suddenly while participating in a shooting party on his estate near Linlithgow, Scotland; he was survived by his wife and children.^[36] ^[35]

Charles William Frederick Hope, 3rd Marquess (1912–1987)

Charles William Frederick Hope was born on 7 April 1912, the elder twin son of Victor Alexander John Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow, and his wife Doreen Maud Milner.^[15] Educated at Eton College, he entered military service during the Second World War with the 51st (Highland) Division, where he was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry.^[2] Captured by German forces during the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940, he was imprisoned at Oflag IV-C (Colditz Castle) as a "prominente," a category reserved for high-profile prisoners of expected propaganda or escape value.^[2]^[38] Following his release at the war's end in 1945, Hope pursued a career in finance, serving as a director of Eagle Star Insurance and engaging in business activities that supported the family's estates.^[39] Upon his father's death on 1 January 1952, he succeeded as 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow, 10th Earl of Hopetoun, and holder of subsidiary titles including Viscount Aithrie and Baron Hope of Hopetoun.^[15] Appointed Lord Lieutenant of West Lothian (formerly Linlithgowshire) in 1964, he retained the position until his death, overseeing ceremonial and magisterial duties in the region.^[15] Hope married firstly on 24 July 1939 to Vivienne Kenyon-Slaney (1918–1963), with whom he had two children: Adrian John Charles Hope (born 1 July 1945), who succeeded as 4th Marquess, and Lady Mary Sarah-Jane Hope (1940–2012).^[15] After Vivienne's death, he married secondly on 18 February 1965 to Judith Baring (died 1991), a union that produced no issue and ended in divorce.^[15] The family maintained close ties to Hopetoun House, the principal seat in West Lothian, which had been in Hope ownership for over three centuries.^[2] He died on 7 April 1987, his 75th birthday, at Hopetoun House, after which the title passed to his son Adrian.^[15]^[2]

Adrian John Charles Hope, 4th Marquess (born 1945)

Adrian John Charles Hope succeeded as the 4th Marquess of Linlithgow on 7 April 1987 following the death of his father, Charles William Frederick Hope, 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow; he also holds the subsidiary titles of 10th Earl of Hopetoun, 10th Viscount of Aithrie, 10th Lord Hope of Hopetoun, and 7th Baron Niddry of Hopetoun House.^[15]^[3] Born on 1 July 1946, he is the only child of the 3rd Marquess and Vivien Elizabeth Margaret Kenyon-Slaney.^[3] Hope received his education at Eton College in Windsor, Berkshire.^[3] He has married three times. His first marriage, on 9 January 1968 to Anne Pamela Leveson (daughter of Arthur Edmund Leveson), ended in divorce in 1978 and produced two sons: Andrew Victor Arthur Charles Hope, Earl of Hopetoun (born 22 May 1969), and Lord Alexander John Adrian Hope (born 3 February 1971).^[15]^[3] His second marriage, in 1980 to Peta Carol Binding, ended in divorce in 1997 and produced one daughter, Lady Louisa Vivienne Hope (born 16 April 1981), and one son, Lord Robert Charles Robin Adrian Hope (born 17 January 1984).^[15]^[3] His third marriage, on 1 November 1997 to Auriol Veronica Mackeson-Sandbach, ended in divorce in 2007 and produced no children.^[3] The marquess resides at Hopetoun House, the ancestral family seat near South Queensferry in West Lothian, Scotland, where the Hope family has maintained presence for over three centuries; the estate remains under family stewardship.^[3]^[2] As a hereditary peer, Hope was a member of the House of Lords until his exclusion under the House of Lords Act 1999 on 11 November 1999.^[40] No public record indicates a formal profession beyond his peerage and estate-related responsibilities.^[15]^[3]

Succession and Family

Line of Succession

The marquessate of Linlithgow, created by letters patent on 23 October 1902, descends according to the principle of male primogeniture, limited to the heirs male of the body of John Adrian Louis Hope, 1st Marquess of Linlithgow.^[15] Upon the death of the current holder, Adrian John Charles Hope, 4th Marquess (born 1 July 1945), the title passes to his eldest surviving son.^[41] The heir apparent is Andrew Victor Arthur Charles Hope, Earl of Hopetoun (born 22 May 1969), eldest son of the 4th Marquess and his first wife, Anne Pamela Leveson.^[42] The Earl married Skye Laurette Bovill, daughter of Major Bristow Charles Bovill, in 1994, and they have two sons and two daughters.^[3] The Earl's heir apparent is his eldest son, Charles Hope, styled Viscount Aithrie by courtesy; the next in line through this branch is the Earl's younger son, Victor Hope.^[43] Should the Hopetoun line fail, succession would revert to the 4th Marquess's next surviving male issue: Lord Alexander John Adrian Hope (born 3 February 1971) or Lord Robert Charles Robin Adrian Hope (born 17 January 1984), and their legitimate male descendants, maintaining the strict patrilineal descent from the 1st Marquess.^[3] No special remainders or entails beyond the original patent apply, and the title carries associated subsidiary honours including the earldom of Hopetoun (created 1703) and viscountcy of Aithrie (1902), which follow the same line.^[15]

Notable Ancestors and Relatives

The Marquesses of Linlithgow descend from the Earls of Hopetoun, with the earldom originating in 1703 when Charles Hope (1681–1742), grandson of Sir Thomas Hope, Lord Advocate of Scotland (d. 1646), was elevated to the peerage for his support of the Acts of Union 1707; he sat as a representative peer in the House of Lords from 1708 until his death and was appointed a Knight of the Thistle in 1722.^[44] His son, John Hope, 2nd Earl of Hopetoun (1704–1781), expanded the family estates and served as Lord High Treasurer of Scotland.^[2] Among collateral ancestors, General Sir John Hope, 4th Earl of Hopetoun (1765–1823), half-brother of the 3rd Earl, distinguished himself in the Napoleonic Wars, commanding a brigade at the Battle of Corunna in 1809 and later rising to full general; he succeeded to the earldom in 1816.^[10] Notable relatives include Lt.-Col. John Adrian Hope, 1st Baron Glendevon (1912–1996), younger twin brother of Charles Hope, 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow and son of Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess; he served as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Pentlands (1945–1950) and North Lanarkshire (1950–1964), and as Minister of Works (1959–1962) under Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.^[45]
