Montagu Douglas Scott
# Montagu Douglas Scott

The House of Montagu Douglas Scott, or simply Scott, is an aristocratic family in the United Kingdom, founded initially in the 15th century as Clan Scott. In the 17th century, James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, eldest illegitimate son of Charles II, King of England, Scotland and Ireland, who would lead the Monmouth Rebellion married Anne Scott, 1st Duchess of Buccleuch. The family name was briefly Montagu-Scott, before the 5th Duke adopted its current form. It is one of only a handful of families in the English-speaking world to have an unhyphenated triple-barrelled name.
