Lords Oliphant, (1455)
- Laurence Oliphant, 1st Lord Oliphant (d. 1498)
- John Oliphant, 2nd Lord Oliphant (d. 1516)
- Laurence Oliphant, 3rd Lord Oliphant (1505–1566)
- Laurence Oliphant, 4th Lord Oliphant (1527–1593)
- Laurence Oliphant, 5th Lord Oliphant (1583–1631) Resigned to the Monarch who, in court two years later, created the title of Lord Mordington and re-created the title of Lord Oliphant in a manner not followed at any point since in Scottish Law. See below for "Notes on dignities in the peerage of Scotland which are dormant or which have been forfeited" for a review of this anachronism. Sir James Douglas (the first Lord Mordington) was brother of the powerful Earl of Angus.

Famous quotes containing the word lords:
“From scenes like these old Scotia’s grandeur springs,
That makes her loved at home, revered abroad;
Princes and lords are but the breath of kings,
“An honest man’s the noblest work of God!””
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)
