Montagu Douglas Scott is a prominent aristocratic family in the United Kingdom, founded by James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, the eldest illegitimate son of King Charles II. He would lead the 1685 Monmouth Rebellion and married Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch, heiress of the Scott family. The family name was briefly Montagu-Scott before the 5th Duke adopted its current form. It one of only a handful of families in the English-speaking world to have an unhyphenated triple-barrelled name. [1] [2]

Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester and Prince William of Gloucester are grandsons of the 7th Duke of Buccleuch. Sarah, Duchess of York, former wife of Prince Andrew, Duke of York, is a great-great-granddaughter of the 6th Duke of Buccleuch.
