Timothy Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 7th Earl of Minto

(Gilbert) Timothy Lariston Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 7th Earl of Minto (born 1 December 1953), styled Viscount Melgund between 1975 and 2005, is the chief executive of British company Paperchase.^[1] He is the son of the late Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 6th Earl of Minto and his first wife, Lady Caroline Child Villiers. The Earl resides in England, but has continuing links with Scotland, as his parents did.

He succeeded his father in the earldom on 7 September 2005.^[2]

He is married since 30 July 1983 to Diana Barbara Trafford, daughter of Brian and Audrey (née Taylor) Trafford.^[3][4] They have two sons and one daughter; a third son is deceased.

Under one legitimist theory, Anne Stanley, Countess of Castlehaven, elder sister of the Earl's ancestress Lady Frances, was the "de jure" Queen of England, and he is heir to her claims to the throne of England.
