Lord Kinlossis a title in thePeerage of Scotland.It was created in 1602 forEdward Bruce,laterMaster of the Rolls,with remainder to his heirs and assigns whatsoever. In 1604 he was also madeLord Bruce of Kinloss,with remainder to his heirs male, and in 1608Lord Bruce of Kinloss,with remainder to any of his heirs. He was succeeded by his son, the second Lord, who was killed in a duel in 1613.

His younger brother, the third Lord, was createdEarl of Elginand Lord Bruce of Kinloss (a third separate barony) in 1633, with remainder to heirs male whatsoever, bearing the name and arms of Bruce. In 1641 he was also created Baron Bruce (designated "of Whorlton in the County of York" ) in thePeerage of England.He was succeeded by his son, the second Earl. He was created Baron Bruce of Skelton, Viscount Bruce andEarl of Ailesburyin the Peerage of England in 1664.

His grandson, the fourth Earl of Elgin, was the last male descendant of the first Lord Kinloss and had no male heirs of his own. He therefore chose as his heir his nephew the Hon. Thomas Brudenell, fourth son of George Brudenell, 3rdEarl of Cardigan.In 1746 he was given the additional title of Baron Bruce (designated "of Tottenham in the County of Wilts" ) with remainder to the Hon. Thomas. On his death in 1747 the earldom of Ailesbury, viscountcy of Bruce, Whorlton barony Bruce, and barony of Bruce of Skelton became extinct. The rest of his titles took three different lines of descent. He was succeeded in thethreelordships of Bruce of Kinloss and the earldom of Elgin by his kinsman the ninth Earl of Kincardine (seeEarl of ElginandEarl of Kincardinefor later history of these peerages). The Tottenham barony of Bruce passed according to the special remainder to his nephew Thomas, the second Baron. (The Earldom of Ailesbury was created anew for Thomas; see theMarquess of Ailesburyfor later history of these titles).

The status of the lordship of Kinloss became uncertain. However, in 1868 the Committee for Privileges of theHouse of Lordsdecided that the rightful heir to the title wasJames Brydges, 3rd Duke of Chandos,as the son of Lady Mary Bruce, daughter of the fourth Earl of Elgin. However, he never assumed the title. On the death of the Duke, the dukedom became extinct.

The heir to the lordship of Kinloss was his only child, Anne, Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos andde jureeighth Lady Kinloss, the wife ofRichard Temple-Grenville, 1st Duke of Buckingham and Chandos.In 1868 her grandson,Richard Temple-Grenville, 3rd Duke of Buckingham and Chandos,established his right to the lordship before the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords, and became the tenth Lord Kinloss. On his death in 1889 the dukedom became extinct, while the lordship passed to his eldest daughter Mary. As of 2017the title is held by the latter's great-granddaughter, the thirteenth Lady, who succeeded her mother in 2012.

The family seat is North View House, nearSheriff Hutton,North Yorkshire.
