Clan Stewart one of Scotland’s most famous and influential clans

Clan Stewart: Scotland’s Royal Legacy

Clan Stewart is one of Scotland’s most famous and influential clans, with a history deeply tied to the Scottish monarchy. The Stewart name originates from the Old English words "stig" (house) and "weard" (keeper), referring to the office of steward.

The Origins of Clan Stewart

✅ William Fitz Alain, a Norman knight, became the Great Steward of Scotland under King David I and was granted lands in Renfrewshire and East Lothian.
✅ The Stewarts expanded their influence, acquiring estates in Kintyre, Arran, Cowal, Bute, Strathearn, Atholl, Appin, and Strathspey.
✅ Walter Stewart, the 6th High Steward, married Marjory Bruce, daughter of Robert the Bruce.
✅ Their son, Robert Stewart, became King Robert II in 1371, marking the start of the Stewart Dynasty, which ruled Scotland until 1714.

The Royal Stewarts and the Stuart Dynasty

The Stewart dynasty produced legendary figures, including:
🏰 Mary, Queen of Scots, who adapted the French spelling "Stuart" due to the lack of a "w" in the French language.
🏰 Bonnie Prince Charlie, leader of the Jacobite Rising of 1745, whose death likely marked the end of the royal male Stewart line.
🏰 Today, Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, is the High Steward of Scotland, tracing his lineage back to Walter Fitz Alan.

The Stewart clan motto, Virescit vulnere virtus, means "Courage grows strong at a wound."
