About Clan Bannerman

The name comes from the family's hereditary office of bearer of the royal standard. By tradition it was won when an ancestor carried the king's banner across the River Spey during a campaign. The family's documented landholding begins in 1367, when Donald Bannerman was granted the lands of Clyntrees, Waterton and Weltown, and the family became established at Elsick, near Newtonhill in Kincardineshire, south of Aberdeen
