- Visconte di Oxfuird è un titolo nobiliare della parìa di Scozia creato nel 1651 dal re di Scozia Carlo II nel 1651, assieme al titolo sussidiario di lord Makgill di Cousland, per sir James Makgill, I baronetto. Questi era già stato creato Baronetto, di Makgill, nel il 19 luglio 1625. Alla morte del figlio del primo visconte, la signoria e la vicecontea vennero assunte dalla figlia Cristiana come erede provvisorio. Suo figlio, Robert Maitland Makgill venne riconosciuto Visconte di Oxfuird all'elezione dei rappresentanti scozzesi al parlamento nel 1733 e pertanto venne riconosciuto come erede legittimo. Ad ogni modo, secondo la decisione della commissione dei privilegi della camera dei lords del 1977, l'erede della baronettia, della signoria e della vicecontea sarebbe stato un parente del secondo visconte, David Makgill, de jure terzo visconte di Oxfuird (m. 1717). Suo figlio primogenito fu sir James Makgill (m. 1661), nipote di sir James Makgill (m. 1579), prozio del primo visconte di Oxfuird. Suo figlio, il quarto visconte, tentò di avanzare pretese sul titolo, ma senza successo. Alla morte del quarto visconte de jure le pretese passarono ad un suo parente, John Makgill, de jure quinto visconte. Questi era nipote del reverendo John Makgill, figlio terzogenito del menzionato sir James Makgill (m. 1661). Suo figlio minore George Makgill, de jure settimo visconte, combatté nell'esercito giacobita per il principe Carlo Stuart, ma ottenne successivamente il perdono regale. Un suo pronipote John Makgill, de jure il decimo visconte, avanzò nuove pretese sui titoli di famiglia. Poco dopo la sua morte nel 1906, venne riconosciuto al suo erede il titolo di baronetto, ma non il titolo di lord e di visconte che rimasero quiescenti. Di conseguenza, suo figlio George Makgill, fu de jure undicesimo visconte, e divenne undicesimo baronetto, di Makgill. Questi continuò ad ogni modo ad inviare delle petizioni per richiedere anche il riconoscimento dei titoli mancanti. Fu ad ogni modo solo nel 1977 che suo figlio sir John Makgill, XII baronetto, di Makgill, ottenne di poter far vagliare il suo caso dalla commissione dei privilegi della camera dei lords e gli venne riconosciuto il titolo di visconte di Oxfuird. Suo nipote, il tredicesimo visconte, fu vice-speaker della camera dei lords sino alla sua mort enel 2003 e uno dei nove pari ereditari che ottennero di poter rimanere alla camera dei lords dopo il passaggio dell'House of Lords Act 1999. La sede originaria della famiglia è il , nel Midlothian, costruito dai MakGills nel XVI secolo. Il visconte di Oxfuird è inoltre capo armigero del . (it)
- Viscount of Oxfuird is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in 1651 for Sir James Makgill, 1st Baronet, along with the subsidiary title of Lord Makgill of Cousland, also in the Peerage of Scotland, with remainder to his "heirs male of tailzie and provision whomsoever". He had already been created a Baronet, of Makgill, in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 19 July 1625, with remainder to heirs male whatsoever. The remainder to heirs male whatsoever was a Scottish concept that permitted inheritance by persons not descended from the original grantee, but descended in the male line from male-line ancestors of the grantee. However, on the death of the first Viscount's son, the second Viscount, the Lordship and Viscountcy were assumed (wrongfully according to a 1977 decision by the House of Lords) by his daughter Christian, as heir of tailzie and provision. Her son Robert Maitland Makgill also voted as Viscount of Oxfuird at the election of Scottish Representative Peers in 1733. However, according to a decision by the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords in 1977 the rightful heir to the Baronetcy, Lordship and Viscountcy was the second Viscount's kinsman David Makgill, the de jure third Viscount of Oxfuird (d. 1717). He was the eldest son of Sir James Makgill (d. 1661), grandson of Sir James Makgill (d. 1579), great-uncle of the first Viscount of Oxfuird. His son, the fourth Viscount, attempted to prove his claim, but was unsuccessful. Thereafter, the matter was generally left alone. However, according to the decision by the Committee for privileges the rightful descent of the titles was to have been as follows. On the death of the fourth Viscount the claim passed to his kinsman John Makgill, the de jure fifth Viscount. He was the grandson of Reverend John Makgill, third son of the aforementioned Sir James Makgill (d. 1661). His younger son George Makgill, the de jure seventh Viscount, fought in the Jacobite army of Bonnie Prince Charles, was attainted but later pardoned. His great-grandson John Makgill, the de jure tenth Viscount, resumed the claim to the Baronetcy, Lordship and Viscountcy. Shortly after his death in 1906 the matter was resolved in his favour in regard to the Baronetcy, but the Lordship and Viscountcy still remained dormant. Consequently, his son George Makgill, the de jure eleventh Viscount, became the eleventh Baronet, of Makgill. He continued to petition for the revival of the lordship and viscountcy. However, it was not until 1977 that his son Sir Donald Makgill, 12th Baronet, of Makgill, had the claim admitted by the Committee for Privileges of the House of Lords and was issued with a writ of summons to the House of Lords as the twelfth Viscount of Oxfuird. His nephew, the thirteenth Viscount, was a Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords and was until his death in 2003 one of the ninety elected hereditary peers that were allowed to remain in the House of Lords after the passing of the House of Lords Act 1999. He was succeeded by his eldest twin son. As of 2022 he is the present holder of the titles. Holders of the title often style themselves, technically incorrectly, as 'Viscount Oxfuird', although the correct form 'Viscount of Oxfuird' is also used. The title of the Viscountcy is pronounced "Oxfurd". The Viscounts' seat was the original Oxenfoord Castle in Midlothian, built by the MakGills in the 16th century. The Viscount of Oxfuird is the hereditary Clan Chief of Clan Makgill. (en)
