Clan Aikenhead

The Council of Scottish Clans and Associations gives the historic seat of the name Aikenhead as Aikenhead, Lanarkshire. The Ragman Roll of 1296, as printed by the Bannatyne Club in 1834, records "Akenheued, Gilbert del (del counte de Lanark)" among those who rendered homage to Edward I. David Aikinhead, an influential Edinburgh councillor and future Lord Provost, was brother-in-law to Patrick Sands, who was appointed Principal of the University of Edinburgh on 20 March 1620. The name is widely known through Thomas Aikenhead, an Edinburgh apothecary's son hanged for blasphemy on 8 January 1696-7. No chief is listed by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.
