Richard Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch

Richard Scott, 10th Duke of Buccleuch, is an easy figure to reduce to titles, an Eton-educated aristocrat, politician, and Chief of Clan Scott decked in the Order of the Thistle. What actually interests me is the art historian buried in that resume. A man born into vast land and centuries of obligation who still turns toward scholarship tells me something about character. You cannot choose your birth, but you can choose what you study, and that choice reveals him. I find the inherited grandeur less compelling than the curiosity behind it; the intellect is the part of him I genuinely respect.
