Clan Membership
Modern: You can apply for membership at The Stewart Society if you are interested in being a recognized member of the House of Stewart. For WikiTree purposes, this is not required. For the Scottish Clans Team purposes, you are considered a member of the Clan if your surname is Stuart or any of its known variants, as set out by the Court of Lord Lyon. As such, you may request to have a sticker for Clan Affiliation to place on your profile. Contact the Scottish Clans Team Leader to request your sticker.
Historic: Your ancestors may be included as a member of Clan Stuart if they have the surname Stuart, or any of its known variants. On occasion, an ancestor may have decided to pledge their allegiance to another Clan. If you have source documentation to show this and it is included in the profile's biography, a non-Stuart clan member may be added.

Clan Stuart of Bute
Recognised by the office of the Lord Lyon as an independent Clan, The Stuarts of Bute are descended from Sir John Stewart, born between 1345 and 1390. Sir John Stewart was the son of Robert II of Scotland and was known as ‘The Black Stewart’ (either for his dark complexion or because his brother, John of Dundonald was known as ‘The Red Stewart’).
The lands of Bute, Arran and Cumbrae were made into a county by Robert III and Sir John was made hereditary sheriff to the lands, as set out in a Royal Charter of 1400.
James Stewart, Laird[1] of Kilcattan, was sheriff of Bute between 1445 and 1449, being succeeded by his brother William, who was also keeper of Brodick Castle on Arran.
William’s grandson was Ninian Stewart, inheriting the position of sheriff and also being created hereditary captain and keeper of the royal Castle of Rothesay in 1498. The honour is still held by the family and is represented in the Coat of Arms.
In 1539, Ninian Stewart was succeeded by his son James Stewart, who was in turn succeeded by his son John Stewart in 1570. John was Commissioner for Bute as well as being sheriff, attending Parliament in Edinburgh in this capacity. Around 1575 the family adopted the French spelling of the name ‘Stuart’, which was introduced by Mary, Queen of Scots.
In 1627 Sir James Stuart of Bute was made a Baronet of Nova Scotia by Charles I.
His grandson, also Sir James Stuart of Bute was made a Privy Councilor in the reign of Queen Anne and became Earl of Bute, Viscount Kingarth and Lord Mount Stuart, Cumra and Inchmarnock in 1703. He was later made Commissioner for Trade and Police in Scotland, Lord Lieutenant of Bute and a lord of the bedchamber. In 1715 he was commander of the Bute and Argyll militia at Inveraray.
