There is an error in this page. You have Lt.-Col. Lord Ninan Edward Crichton-Stuart (15 May 1883–2 October 1915). In fact his name was Ninian not Ninan. Both Ninian Road in Roath Park, Cardiff and Ninian park, home of Cardiff City Football Club, are named afterhim.

There seems to be disagreement and an edit war; this point needs discussing here. I have no personal opinion, but a quick search suggests to me that Marquess is right[1]. Somebody who can check Debrett's in a library might be able to clarify. Pol098 (talk) 00:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Agreed. "Marquis" may or may not be the usual spelling for the Peerage of Scotland (though I see that article says "The ranks of the Scottish Peerage are Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, and Lord of Parliament..."), but Bute's title was in the Peerage of Great Britain (that article says "The spelling of the title in Scotland is very often the "marquis" variation, particularly when the title was created prior to the formation of the United Kingdom in 1707."- which Bute's was not) Johnbod (talk) 00:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've even seen "Marques" quite a few times, maybe too many to be merely a typo? Google shows 31000 for "Marquess of Bute", 16000 for Marquis, and 3700 for Marques. Pol098 (talk) 17:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
