David Scott's pug is also with them in the garden of the Dower House (Boughton House). Ink inscription on sleeve on recto: 'Duchess of Northumberland, her sister, Lady Caroline Gilmour'; '434'. Address supplied. Full names: Sir David John Montagu Douglas Scott; Lady Caroline Margaret Gilmour; Elizabeth Diana Percy, Duchess of Northumberland. Caroline and Elizabeth are sisters and they were a distant relation of David Scott.
