Guy David Innes-Ker, 10th Duke of Roxburghe (born 18 November 1954), styled Marquess of Bowmont and Cessford until 1974, is a British .
Guy David Innes-Ker was born 18 November 1954 to 9th Duke by his second wife (Margaret) Elisabeth McConnel (1918–1993). The Duke has a younger brother, Lord Robert Innes-Ker (b. 1959), who is married, with one son and one daughter.
He was educated at Eton College, Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he studied Land Economy, and at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst where he was awarded the Sword of Honour in 1974, in which year he became a Lieutenant in the Blues and Royals.
He is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers and a Freeman of the City of London.
He succeeded his father to the title of Duke of Roxburghe in 1974. He is also the Premier Baronet of Scotland, and the 30th feudal baron of Innes.
The heirs in the Innes-Ker family to the dukedom are the present Duke's three sons, his younger brother, and a nephew. According to the earldom's remainder to heirs male (since the dukedom remainder is to heirs of the earldom), there are no further proper heirs. However, there is precedence in the title moving contrary to its remainder, if an unlikely extinction of the heirs male to the family takes place.
The Duke has been married twice. His first marriage was on 10 September 1977 to Lady Jane Meriel Grosvenor (b. 8 February 1953; Lady Jane Dawnay since 1996), younger daughter of Robert Grosvenor, 5th Duke of Westminster; the couple had two sons and a daughter but divorced in 1990. Their children are:
