Hugh Sempill, 5th Lord Sempill
Lord Sempill (also variously rendered as Semple or Semphill) is a title in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created in circa 1489 for Sir John Sempill, founder of the collegiate Church of Lochwinnoch.

His grandson, the fourth Lord, was Ambassador from King James VI of Scotland to Spain in 1596. The male line failed on the death of his great-grandson, the eighth Lord, in 1684.

Lord Sempill Of Dykehead
Lord Sempill of Dykehead was a title of the Jacobite peerage in the Peerage of Scotland. It was created on 11 May 1712 by James Francis Edward Stuart for Robert Sempill, a grandson of Hugh Sempill, 5th Lord Sempill. James issued a "declaration of nobility" recognising Robert as the legitimate holder of the 1489 creation of Lord Sempill, despite that title being extant in the Peerage of Scotland. The Lords Sempill of Dykehead were never recognised by the British authorities, with the original creation remaining the only legal title. The Jacobite title became dormant on the death of the second holder.Marquis of Ruvigny''The Jacobite Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Grants of Honour''(T. C. & E. C. Jack, 1904), p.164.
