BOOK
Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1981, Micropaedia, Vol VII, p27, mormaor: "also spelled mormaer (Gaelic `mor'= great; `maor' or `maer'= steward, bailiff), a title of the rulers of the seven provinces into which Celtic Scotland (ie the part of the country north of the Forth and the Clyde) was divided. This Celtic title was rendered `jarl' by the Norsemen and after the 12th century, under Anglo-Norman influence `earl'. The seven mormaorships, or original earldoms of Scotland were: Angus, Atholl with Gowrie, Caithness with Sutherland, Fife, Mar with Buchan, Moray with Ross, and Strath Earn with Menteith."
