[Bruce Scott]

It is usual--and the law--that peers of the Realm sign their name with the title only; hence the Duke would sign his name simply as "Buccleuch." I doubt very much that the late Duke of Buccleuch signed anything "Scott" or "Dalkeith," except the latter when he had not inherited and went by the courtesy title of the Earl of Dalkeith. The "family name" is Scott.

Yes, I'm sure that is the case. The Family's surname is Montagu Douglas Scott without hyphens.

The late Duke wore a tie in the Buccleuch tartan at the Border Gathering in 2000. I don't know if he was given to wearing kilts.......and he was confined to a wheel chair.
