| There are four Carrick earldom
titles. The first, the most famous, is that settled forever on the
firstborn son of the Scottish monarch. Today that Earl of Carrick is
Charles, Prince of Wales. The second is the Earldom of Carrick in the
Peerage of Ireland that belongs to the Butler family. The third is the
"Earldom of Carrick (in Orkney)" that was settled on the second surviving
son of Robert Stewart, Earl of Orkney, an illegitimate son of James V, and
is now extinct. The fourth is that held by one of the principal
characters, a tulip collector, in the historical novels of Sara Donati
(the second of which, "Dawn on a Distant Shore", was published earlier
this year). Text and images are an excerpt from the website found at
