Viscount Garnock is a member of the Lindesay-Bethune family, of Scottish descent.[1] He is the third child and eldest son of James Lindesay-Bethune, 16th Earl of Lindsay, and Diana Mary Chamberlayne-Macdonald, a granddaughter of Sir Alexander Somerled Angus Bosville Macdonald of Sleat, 16th Baronet. He has four siblings, including Lady Charlotte Lindesay-Bethune (born 1993), who is married to Prince Jaime, Duke of Noto, heir to the headship of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies,[2] and Lady Frances Mary Gabinsky (born 1986), who is married to Rostislav Gabinsky.[3][4]
As his father's heir, he currently holds the courtesy title of Viscount Garnock.[1]
It is reported that he founded Feragaia, a non-alcoholic spirits company.[5][6]
Viscount Garnock met Lady Violet Manners, daughter of David Manners, 11th Duke of Rutland, and Emma Manners, Duchess of Rutland[1][7][8] in late 2023, at his family home in Scotland. They were introduced by his sister and brother-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Noto, who invited Manners to a New Year's party.[5][6]
In July 2024, after six months of long-distance dating,[5][6] Viscount Garnock became engaged to Lady Violet.[1][9] It was reported that the wedding would be held at Belvoir Castle and would be a private occasion, not open to the public.[9][10]
The marriage took place on 21 June 2025 at Belvoir Castle, in the presence of numerous members of the British aristocracy.[1] They were married at the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Bottesford.[11][12] The groom wore a kilt in the Lindesay family tartan,[5][6] complete with a tasselled sporran.[1][5][6] The ceremony, officiated by Stuart, the Manners family's vicar for 20 years,[5][6] marked the union of two distinguished families with ancestral ties to the English and Scottish peerages,[13] whose lineages date back to the Norman Conquest and the seventeenth century, respectively.[1] The best men were Archie, Lord Cochrane, and the Hon. David Lindesay-Bethune,[12] and guests of the wedding included Lady Tatiana Mountbatten, Sabrina Percy, and Flora Vesterberg.[11][14][15] The honeymoon was in South Africa.[16]
