Duke of Montrose (named after Montrose, Angus) is a title that has been created twice in the Peerage of Scotland, firstly in 1488 for David Lindsay, 5th Earl of Crawford. It was forfeited and then returned, but only for the period of the holder's lifetime. Thus, it was not inherited.

The title was created anew in 1707, again in the Peerage of Scotland, for James Graham, 4th Marquess of Montrose.[2] It has remained since then in the Graham family, and the title is also tied to the chieftainship of Clan Graham.

The Duke's subsidiary titles are: Marquess of Montrose (created 1644), Marquess of Graham and Buchanan (1707), Earl of Montrose (1503), Earl of Kincardine (1644 and 1707), Earl Graham of Belford (1722), Viscount Dundaff (1707), Lord Graham (1445),[3] Lord Aberruthven, Mugdock and Fintrie (1707) and Baron Graham of Belford (1722). The titles of Earl and Baron Graham of Belford are in the Peerage of Great Britain; the rest are in the Peerage of Scotland. The eldest son of the Duke uses the courtesy title of Marquess of Graham and Buchanan.

The family seat is Auchmar House, near Loch Lomond, Stirlingshire. It was previously Buchanan Castle, near Drymen, Stirlingshire.
