Duke Of Buccleuch

Anne was created Duchess in her own right along with her husband, so that the title was unaffected by Monmouth's Attainder of 1685 . It passed on to his descendants, who have successively borne the surnames ''Scott'', ''Montagu-Scott'', ''Montagu-Douglas-Scott'' and ''Scott'' again. In 1810 , the 3rd Duke of Buccleuch inherited the Dukedom Of Queensberry , also in the Peerage Of Scotland , thus separating that title from the Marquessate Of Queensberry . Thus, the holder is one of the only five people to hold two or more different dukedoms, the others being the Duke Of Cornwall And Rothesay , the Duke Of Hamilton And Brandon , the Duke Of Argyll (who holds two dukedoms named Argyll), and the Duke Of Richmond, Lennox And Gordon .

The subsidiary titles associated with the Dukedom of Buccleuch are: Earl of Buccleuch (1619), '''Earl of Dalkeith''' (1663), '''Lord Scott of Buccleuch''' (1606) and '''Lord Scott of Whitchester and Eskdaill''' (1619) (all in the Peerage of Scotland). The Duke also holds the two subsidiary titles of the attainted Dukedom Of Monmouth , namely '''Earl of Doncaster''' (1663) and '''Baron Scott of Tindale''' (1663) (both in the Peerage of England), and several subsidiary titles associated with the Dukedom of Queensberry, namely '''Marquess of Dumfriesshire''' (1683), '''Earl of Drumlanrig and Sanquhar''' (1682), '''Viscount of Nith, Tortholwald and Ross''' (1682) and '''Lord Douglas of Kilmount, Middlebie and Dornock''' (1682) (all in the Peerage of Scotland). The Earldom of Doncaster and Barony of Scott of Tindale had been forfeit at the time of the first Duke's attainder, but the titles were restored to the 2nd Duke of Buccleuch in 1742.

The Courtesy Title used by the Duke's eldest son and heir is ''Earl of Dalkeith''; and the one of Lord Dalkeith's eldest son and heir is ''Lord Eskdaill''.

The current Duke of Buccleuch is the largest private landowner in the United Kingdom and chairman of the Buccleuch Group , a holding company with interests in commercial property, rural affairs, food, and beverages. The title originally comes from a holding in the Scottish Borders , near Selkirk .

The family seats are Bowhill , three miles outside Selkirk, representing the Scott line; Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries And Galloway , representing the Douglas line; and Boughton House in Northamptonshire , England , representing the Montagu line. These three houses are still lived in by the family and are also open to the public. The family also owns Dalkeith Palace in Midlothian , which is let, and has owned several other country houses and castles in the past. Its historic London residence was Montagu House, Whitehall .
