Clan Crawford - A Proud Legacy of Scottish Nobility

Clan Crawford: A Proud Legacy of Scottish Nobility

The Scottish Clan Crawford hails from the Lowlands of Scotland, with ancestral ties to Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon heritage. While some historians speculate on Norman origins, the clan has long been recognized by the Court of the Lord Lyon. However, due to the lack of a chief, Clan Crawford is now considered an armigerous clan.

The surname Crawford originates from the Barony of Crawford in Lanarkshire, adopted around 1125 when Norman knights accompanied King David I to Scotland. One of the most notable legends of the clan involves Sir Gregan Crawford, who is said to have saved the king’s life from a stag, contributing to the foundation of Holyrood Abbey.
