The Duke of Buccleuch was appointed as a Knight of the Order of the Thistle in 2017.
On 9 Dec 2023 the Duke of Buccleuch was appointed as the Chancellor of the Order of the Thistle. He is not, however, the senior Knight, that honour belongs to the Earl of Elgin who was appointed as a Knight of the Thistle in 1981.
