About Clan Hope

Clan Hope traces its documented origin to John de Hope, said to have come to Scotland from France in 1537 in the retinue of James V's first wife, though the surname itself may derive instead from an older Scottish Borders family. The Hopes prospered in Edinburgh, and Sir Thomas Hope rose to become Lord Advocate under Charles I, helped draft the National Covenant, and acquired the estate of Craighall in Fife before being created a Nova Scotia baronet in 1628. His descendants, the Hopes of Craighall, became the recognized chiefly line, while a junior branch, the Hopes of Hopetoun, was elevated to the Earldom of Hopetoun in 1703 and later the Marquessate of Linlithgow
