Clan Dewar

Dewar is the old Scots and Gaelic word for the hereditary keeper of a relic of a Celtic saint, from the Gaelic deoradh, 'an alien, stranger, pilgrim'. Before the Reformation five hereditary Dewars in Glendochart, Perthshire, each held a croft of land by the tenure of keeping one of St Fillan's relics; the best known is his pastoral staff, the Coigreach or Quigrich, long preserved in the national museum collection in Edinburgh. A later branch of the family, by then merchants, bought the barony and estate of Vogrie near Gorebridge in Midlothian in 1719.
