The Constitution of the Society is a document of intent and a demonstration of feeling about the subject. Our aims and objectives are primarily concerned with having all sites of importance to Montrose’s life and campaigns properly recognised and, where possible, preserved. It binds all members to uphold and honour the memory of Montrose, which includes “spreading the word” wherever possible. Montrose’s memory must be revived and placed in the annals of Scottish history where it belongs, alongside the other great figures of this country’s past. In pursuit of these goals, the society is committed to promoting historical research and discourse on this period and making it open and accessible to our membership and the general public. The society is also constantly engaged in preservation and public engagement activities, which has seen us work alongside a plethora of national and local partners.

If you share these interests and desire to promote the memory of the marquis to help shake off the dust of time which has wrongly been allowed to gather upon this period, you would be warmly welcome to join the 1st Marquis of Montrose Society. We are proud of our international membership, which currently includes individuals from across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia.
