Lady Margaret Elizabeth Montagu Douglas Scott (10 October 1846 – 5 February 1918), also known as Lady Margaret Scott, was a Scottish aristocrat.
Lady Margaret Scott was born at Dalkeith Palace in 1846, the second daughter of Walter Montagu Douglas Scott, 5th Duke of Buccleuch, a prominent Scottish peer, politician and landowner, and his wife Lady Charlotte Thynne, daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Bath and Hon. Isabella Byng, daughter of George Byng, 4th Viscount Torrington. [1]
The details of her life before marriage are relatively unknown. She is known, however, to have been a bridesmaid at the wedding of Princess Helena and Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein in July 1866. [2] [3]
On 9 December 1875 at Dalkeith, she married Donald Cameron of Lochiel, a diplomat, politician, courtier and the 24th Chief of Clan Cameron. Upon her marriage to Lochiel she became Lady Margaret Cameron of Lochiel [4] and resided at his seat of Achnacarry Castle in the Scottish Highlands. The couple had four sons:
All of her sons fought in the First World War; the two youngest, Allan and Archibald, were both killed in action in 1914 and 1917. As for herself, Lady Margaret, who was a widow from 1905 and suffering from arthritis, died on 5 February 1918 of Spanish flu.[ citation needed]
Lady Margaret is the subject of Sarah, Duchess of York's 2021 historical-fiction romance novel Her Heart for a Compass. In the novel, she is estranged from her family and is sent to Powerscourt in Ireland, then travels to New York before ultimately wedding Lochiel. [5] Sarah is the great-grandniece of Lady Margaret through her nephew Lord Herbert Scott. [6]
