1. Clan Grewar History

Grewar, along with variants Grewer, Gruer, Gruar, MacGrewar, and MacGrouther, is not an independent clan but a recognized sept of Clan Drummond, historically falling under the protection of the Drummond chief. The name is most closely tied to Perthshire, the heartland shared with the wider Drummond kin-group.

2. Clan Grewar and the Drummonds

Clan Drummond crest badge

As a Drummond sept, Grewars are traditionally entitled to wear the Drummond tartan and crest badge, a goshawk with wings displayed, encircled by the motto "Virtutem Coronat Honos," honour crowns virtue. The Drummond name itself traces to the Gaelic "dromainn," ridge or high ground, tied to the parish of Drymen west of Stirling.

3. Clan Grewar's Wider Kin

Other septs sharing this Drummond connection include Begg, Brewer, Cargill, Doig, MacCrouther, MacGruder, MacRobbie, and Robbie, reflecting how a single powerful clan could absorb and protect a wide network of smaller allied families over the centuries.

4. Clan Grewar Today

Clan Drummond's chief today is James David Drummond, 10th Earl of Perth, with Drummond Castle in Perthshire as the historic seat. Descendants bearing the Grewar name and its variants continue to trace their heritage through this long-standing Drummond sept relationship.
