Ayrshire and the Welsh borders

From a place in Normandy whose own name combines a Germanic personal name with mont, hill. It reached Scotland through the same twelfth-century settlement that brought Bruce.

The Welsh county of Montgomeryshire takes its name from the family rather than the other way round.

Bestow the name a title it never had

An honorific Lord or Lady certificate in the Montgomery name, hand-finished and sealed, with a square metre of Scottish woodland dedicated alongside it. A novelty, magnificently done — and a good deal more fun than a family tree.
