| Notes |
- He was a director of Northern Area Clydesdale Bank in 1968.
They adopted four children who were, until 2004, not entitled either to have courtesy titles or for the elder son to inherit the peerage[1]:
Mary Katherine Gordon (b. 30 May 1946), married Simon Piers Welfare and had issue.
Sarah Caroline Gordon (b. 25 March 1948), married P.Scott and had issue; then remarried Eric N Money with one son.
Andrew David Gordon (b. 6 March 1950), married Lucy Mary Frances Milligan and had issue.
James Drummond Gordon (b. 11 April 1953), married Marilyn Sim.
Until 2004 adopted children of peers had no right to any courtesy title. However as a result of a Royal Warrant dated 30 April 2004 adopted children are now automatically entitled to such styles and courtesy titles as their siblings. However, as with illegitimate children where legitimated, such children have no rights to inheritance of peerages. [Note - Scottish peerages rules of descent differ.]
