The Montagu Douglas Scott family is an aristocratic family in the United Kingdom. Founded in the 15th century as the Scott family, it has spawned numerous aristocratic titles, most notably the dukedom of Buccleuch (/bəˈkluː/). A prominent member of the family during the 17th century was James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, of Monmouth Rebellion fame. 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.
