Claim: Lord Duffus is an extinct title made by Charles II for Alexander Sutherland; however, there may be male-line Sutherlands who descended from earlier lairds of Duffus.
Evidence: The title Lord Duffus was created by Charles II in the Peerage of Scotland on 8 December 1650 for Alexander Sutherland. The title is now extinct, although there may be male-line Sutherlands descended from earlier lairds of Duffus. Some of the Sutherland of Duffus family may have assumed the surname Duffus, which was the family title instead of the surname Sutherland.
