Clan Boyle

Dominus Providebit (The Lord will provide)

Boyle is the surname of the family formerly styled 'de Boyville', who have held Kelburn in Ayrshire since at least the 13th century. David Boyle of Kelburn was created Lord Boyle in 1699 and earl of Glasgow in 1703. Kelburn Castle is among the oldest country seats in Scotland to have been continuously inhabited by successive generations of one family, and the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists the chief of Boyle as The Earl of Glasgow.

Crest & Motto

Clan Boyle Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Boyle is Dominus Providebit (The Lord will provide). It appears on the Clan Boyle crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
