Walter Francis Montagu-Douglas-Scott was born in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland in 1806. He was educated at Eton and at St John's College, Cambridge. He succeeded to the dukedom aged 13, on his father's death. Buccleuch became a member of the Privy Council in 1842 and served as its president in 1846. He was also president of the Society of Antiquaries, during 1862-1873, and of the British Association in 1867. He was a strong supporter of the Conservative party and, as a leading estate-owner, exerted a strong influence over his tenants' political activities.
