Charles Hope, 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow

Charles William Frederick Hope, 3rd Marquess of Linlithgow MC (7 April 1912 – 7 April 1987) was a British peer and businessman. He was the son of Victor Hope, 2nd Marquess of Linlithgow, and elder twin brother of John Hope, 1st Baron Glendevon. Hope received his education at Ludgrove School and Eton College, respectively.

During the Second World War, with the 51st (Highland) Division, Lord Hope displayed such courage and dedication to duty that he was awarded the Military Cross for his valour and service. He was taken prisoner in 1940 at Dunkirk and sent to Colditz Castle. After the war, Lord Hope entered the world of finance and became a director of Eagle Star Insurance. This new chapter in his life tested his resilience and showed him to be an adaptable man-he took all the determination and leadership developed in the military and put it into a highly successful business career.

In 1974, Lord Linlithgow established the Hopetoun House Preservation Trust with the express purpose of preserving his ancestral home, Hopetoun House, as a national monument. Since that time, it and its collection of historical artifacts, which include furnishings, paintings, manuscripts, and other relics of interest, have been carefully maintained under the guidance of the Trust. The house has also been improved by the Trust to facilitate public openings and educational use, and thus has given considerable enhancement to Scotland's cultural heritage, promoting a better understanding of its history.
