Lord Ninian Crichton-Stuart (1883–1915) was the second son of the third Marquess of Bute. He inherited the Falkland Estate from his father, becoming Laird of Falkland when he came of age in 1904. He and his wife lived for a time in the House of Falkland.
Lord Ninian commissioned the Memorial Chapel in memory of his young son, but died in action at the Battle of Loos and the chapel was never completed.
