- Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch
Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch and 5th Duke of Queensberry KG, KT (2 September 1746 - 11 January 1812), was a Scottish nobleman.
Scott was the eldest son of Francis Scott, Earl of Dalkeith and his wife, Caroline. He succeeded his grandfather as Duke of Buccleuch in 1751. He was educated at Eton College and through his step-father Charles Townshend, was able to travel abroad with Adam Smith as his tutor from 1764 to 1766. The Duke remained life-long friends with Adam Smith and is credited with bringing him out of his shell. On 2 May 1767, he married Lady Elizabeth Montagu (the eldest and heiress daughter of the 1st Duke of Montagu of the second creation) and they had seven children:
*George, Earl of Dalkeith (b. & d. 1768)
*Charles William Henry, Earl of Dalkeith, later 4th/6th Duke (1772-1819)
*Lord Henry James, later 2nd Baron Montagu of Boughton (1776-1845)
*Lady Mary (d. 1823), married the 3rd Earl of Courtown and had issue.
*Lady Elizabeth (d. 1837), married the 10th Earl of Home and had issue.
*Lady Caroline (d. 1854), married the 6th Marquess of Queensberry and had issue.
*Lady Harriet (d. 1833), married the 6th Marquess of Lothian and had issue.
The duke became the first President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1783. He was appointed a Knight of the Thistle in 1767 and a Knight of the Garter in 1794 (resigning as Knight of the Thistle). He succeeded as 5th Duke of Queensberry in 1810. He was a friend of Sir Walter Scott.
