Duke of Montrose is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of Scotland. The first creation was in 1488 for David Lindsay, 5th Earl of Crawford. He was forced to forfeit the dukedom later in 1488, but it was restored to him in 1489, although only for his lifetime. Thus, it was not inherited.

From 1644 to 1646, and again in 1650, he fought in the civil war in Scotland on behalf of the King. He is referred to as the Great Montrose.
