The highlight was the signature on the document by Sir Merlin HAY. After the ceremonies a lunch was offered in the authentic “dinner room”. Impressed by the incredible hospitality of the Earl -and Countess of Erroll, the return journey was started. Before we took the boat in Dover, we first enjoyed a traditional Fish and Chips. We arrived home safely around midnight. A younger generation is ready to pilot the Clan HAY through the 21st century. We are convinced that she - with all her enthusiasm and perseverance - will fulfill this task with verve On Sunday 10 June, Dorothée Roels, together with Tom Hye and their respective husband, Frank Arlia and wife, Liliane Bergiers, were received by Chief, Sir Merlin HAY, Earl of Erroll - Lord High Constable of Scotland.

  • THE EARLS of DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS of the MOST ANCIENT and MOST NOBLE ORDER of the THISTLE (From Dennis Hurt and Wayne R
    THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE THISTLE (from Dennis Hurt and Wayne R. Premo) In 2017, Dennis Hurt (Clan member #636) and his Lady Susan, who are avid participants in the Colorado Scottish / Celtic Festivals each year, traveled to the United Kingdom as many of us have over these past decades. While visiting Scotland and particularly Edinburgh, they decided to “take in” St. Giles High Kirk (Kirk meaning Church; or High Kirk meaning Cathedral, in this case) which is located on High Street (The Royal Mile) in Old Town Edinburgh. St. Giles Cathedral or High Kirk of Edinburgh is THE principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh (Wikipedia online). St. Giles High Kirk today – The Royal Mile – Edinburgh While online websites have a great deal of information with photos about St. Giles High Kirk, what is important to this narrative is the fact that the Thistle Chapel, a section therein, was dedicated in 1911 to the Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle, SCotlanD’s Foremost OrDer oF Chivalry. Again from Wikipedia: “The Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle is an order of chivalry associated with Scotland. The current version of the Order was founded in 1687 by King James VII 1 of ScotlanD (James II of England and Ireland) who asserted that he was reviving an earlier Order. The Order consists of the Sovereign and sixteen Knights and Ladies, as well as certain "extra" knights (members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).

  • Short History of the Muirhead Clan.Pdf
    ii iii ASHORT HISTORY OF THE MUIRHEAD CLAN Historians have noted that the family of Muirhead was one of the ancient families of the shire (i.e. county), of Lanark. According to Alexander Nisbet, in his book, A System Of Heraldry, published in 1742: “The Family of Muirheads of Lachop, or Muirhead of That-Ilk, has been always repute one of the ancientest Families in all the Shire of Lanerk.”... “The Sirname de Morehead, or Muirhead, is like other Sirnames of the greatest Antiquity, local, taken from Lands, from whence either the Proprietor took a Denomination, when fixed hereditary Sirnames became customary; or took an Appellation from the Lands, as soon as he obtained them; for it is a Maxim amongst Antiquaries, that ‘tis a sufficient Document of an ancient Descent, where the Inhabitant has the Sirname from the Place he inhabiteth.” 1 It was in the valley of the Clyde River, on the southern border of the highlands of Scotland, to the west of Edinburgh, and midway between it and Glasgow, in the Parish of Bothwell, in the Clydesdale county or shire of Lanark, that the lands of Lauchope and Lauchope House were located. And it was the estate of Lauchope that was first associated Photo of Lauchope House supplied by John Lindsay Morehead – Taken from 1925 with the name of Morehead family history in his possession. Muirhead. Reproduced by permission of the Trustees of the National Library of Scotland. In order for us to flesh out a history of this “Family of the Muirheads of Lachop”, we should begin by identifying a starting point when the family first became known to reside in Scotland.
