Scotland</div> <p> Holders of the office of <b>Lord Chamberlain of <a href="/wiki/Scotland" title="Scotland">Scotland</a></b> are known from about 1124. It was ranked by King Malcolm as the third great Officer of State, called <i>Camerarius Domini Regis</i>, and had a salary of £200 per annum allotted to him. He anciently collected the revenues of the Crown, at least before Scotland had a Treasurer, of which office there is no vestige until the restoration of King <a href="/wiki/James_I_of_Scotland" title="James I of Scotland">James I</a> when he disbursed the money necessary for the maintenance of the King's Household. </p><p>The Great Chamberlain had jurisdiction for judging of all crimes committed within burgh, and of the crime of forestalling; and was in effect Justice-General over the burghs, and held Chamberlain-ayrs every year for that purpose; the form whereof is set down in <i>Iter Camerarii</i>, the Chamberlain-ayr. He was a supreme judge and his Decrees could not be questioned by any inferior judicatory. His sentences were to be put into execution by the <a href="/wiki/Baillie" class="mw-redirect" title="Baillie">baillies</a> of burghs. He also settled the prices of provisions within burghs, and the fees of the workmen in the <a href="/wiki/Mint_(coin)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mint (coin)">Mint</a>. </p><p>The Chamberlain lost his financial functions after 1425 to the <a href="/wiki/Treasurer_of_Scotland" title="Treasurer of Scotland">Treasurer</a>. The position was vacant from 1558 to 1565 and again from 1569. It was occupied in 1580 for the cousin of <a href="/wiki/James_I_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="James I of England">James I</a>, <a href="/wiki/Esm%C3%A9_Stewart,_1st_Duke_of_Lennox" title="Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox">Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox</a>, whose appearance as a <a href="/wiki/Great_Officer_of_State" class="mw-redirect" title="Great Officer of State">Great Officer of State</a> in 1581 is attributable to his personal standing with the king rather than his office. But following the <a href="/wiki/Raid_of_Ruthven" title="Raid of Ruthven">Raid of Ruthven</a>, 24 August 1582, the Great Chamberlain lost his supervision of the <a href="/wiki/Royal_burgh" title="Royal burgh">royal burghs</a>. </p><p>Thereafter the office was held by successive <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Lennox" title="Duke of Lennox">Dukes of Lennox</a> (heritably from 1603) until resigned to the Crown <i>ad perpetuam remanentiam</i> by the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Richmond_and_Lennox" title="Duke of Richmond and Lennox">Duke of Richmond and Lennox</a> in 1703, since which time no Great Chamberlain has been appointed. In 1711 a form of the office was revived in a Commission of Chamberlainry and Trade, which lapsed on the death of <a href="/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain" title="Anne, Queen of Great Britain">Queen Anne</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lord_Chamberlains">Lord Chamberlains</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
