Stole the land from reiving family’s after the union of the crowns when those family’s were either hanged or shunted off to Ulster,given the land by the crown of Scotland….bloody robbers…

I was always interested why it's pronounced Bukloo. Is it because the Duke is English and can't say CH as in loch?
