Clan Cairns

Effloresco (I blossom)

The Cairns name is associated with the lands of Cairns in the parish of Mid Calder, West Lothian, which the Council of Scottish Clans & Associations gives as the historic seat and where the roofless fifteenth-century Cairns Castle still stands. A branch of the family held the lands of Orchardton in Galloway, where John Cairns raised Orchardton Tower, uniquely circular in plan, in the middle of the fifteenth century. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Cairns chief.
