David Lindsay, 1st Duke of Montrose (1440 – 25 December 1495) was a Scottish nobleman.
During his political career, he held the posts of Lord High Admiral of Scotland, Master of the Royal Household, Great Chamberlain, and Justiciar.
[1] In 1488, he was created Duke of Montrose, the first Scotsman not of royal blood to be granted a Dukedom.
Lindsay was deprived of his dukedom by James IV when he acceded to the throne later that year, but it was restored in 1489 for life only.
On his death in 1495, the title became extinct,[2] although the Earldom continues to this day.
