The earldom of Arran currently exists in two forms within the Scottish nobility. One is a peerage title in the Peerage of Scotland, held as a subsidiary title by the Duke of Hamilton. The other is a baronage title in the Baronage of Scotland, currently held by Susan Clark Livingston, Countess of Arran (in her own right).^[1][2]

These titles and the title of Earl of Arran in the Peerage of Ireland should not be conflated, as they are separate and distinct. The Scottish earldoms refer to the Isle of Arran off the coast of Ayrshire, while the Irish title is held by the unrelated Gore family and pertains to the Aran Islands offshore from County Galway.
