Clan Stuart of Bute is a highland Scottish clan. The Stuarts or Stewarts descend from Norman seneschals of Dol, Brittany who settled in England around the time of the Norman Invasion.[1] The current chief of Clan Stuart of Bute is John Crichton-Stuart, 7th Marquess of Bute.[2] The clan chief of the clan is a member of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.[3] A modern clan member's crest badge contains the heraldic motto: NOBILIS EST IRA LEONIS.[1]
