Mary succeeded to her father's titles aged 4, when he died in 1651. On February 9, 1659, she married Walter Scott of Highchester (herself only 11 years old at the time and her husband, 14), who was created Earl of Tarras a year later. However, she died two years later, aged 13 in 1661 and her titles passed to her sister, Anne.
