Use As A Peerage Title
The castle's name was used as a peerage title when William Douglas was created Viscount Drumlanrig and Lord Douglas of Hawick and Tibberis on 1 April 1628; he was later created Earl of Queensberry. These titles are currently held by his descendant David Douglas, 12th Marquess of Queensberry. Charles Douglas, future 3rd Duke of Queensberry, was created Viscount of Tibberis and Earl of Solway on 17 June 1707, but the title became extinct on his death in 1778.

Famous quotes containing the word title:
“Men don’t and can’t live by exchanging articles, but by producing them. They don’t live by trade, but by work. Give up that foolish and vain title of Trades Unions; and take that of Labourers’ Unions.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
