Clan Scott |
 | | Sir Michael Scott of Balweary, probably his direct descendant, was in 1286 sent to fetch home Margaret, "Maid of Norway", heir to the throne, after the death of her grandfather, King Alexander III. |
 | | Anne, Countess of Buccleuch, to whom the earldom and the chiefship of the clan passed after the deaths of her father, 2nd Earl, in 1651 and subsequently of her elder sister, married James, Duke of Monmouth (1649-1685), illegitimate son of King Charles II, in 1673, when they were made Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch. |
 | | Walter Scott of Harden (d.1629) was a notorious cattle-rustler, of whom it is said that when the last beast of a particular haul had been eaten, his wife would serve him a dish on which was a pair of clean spurs, indicating that the larder should be replenished. |
