Dunrobin Castle (17)
George Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, 5th Duke of Sutherland died in 1933 without issue.  Under the terms of the patents under which they were created, the earldom and Dukedom were then separated.  The Earldom of Sutherland, Lordship of Strathnaver (and Dunrobin Castle), passed to his nearest living relative - his niece Elizabeth, who duly became 24th Countess of Sutherland (the 3rd time the title passed to a female - all of them names Elizabeth).  The Dukedom meanwhile, passed to his nearest male relative, the Earl of Ellesmere.
