Clan Gibbs

Pandite Coelestes Portae (Open ye Heavenly gates)

Gibbs is not a clan in its own right. The Clan Buchanan Society International heads its page for the name 'Gibb, a Sept of Clan Buchanan', and COSCA's surname lookup points both Gibbs and Gibb to Clan Buchanan; COSCA's clan finder gives Gibbs the motto 'Pandite Coelestes Portae' and the region 'Lowlands'. Separately, Scotland's best-known bearer of the name is James Gibbs (1682-1754), the Aberdeen-born architect of St Martin-in-the-Fields in London and the Radcliffe Library at Oxford.

Questions about Clan Gibbs

Is Gibbs its own Scottish clan?

No. The Clan Buchanan Society International lists 'Gibb' and 'Gibson' as septs of Clan Buchanan, and COSCA's surname lookup points Gibbs itself to Buchanan, so the name is treated as a Buchanan sept name rather than an independent clan with its own chief.

What is the Gibbs motto?

COSCA's clan finder gives 'Pandite Coelestes Portae' ('Open ye Heavenly gates') for Gibbs, with the region listed as the Lowlands.

Who is Scotland's best-known Gibbs?

The architect James Gibbs (1682-1754), born near Aberdeen and trained in Rome, who designed St Martin-in-the-Fields in London and the Radcliffe Camera at Oxford.

Does Gibbs have its own chief?

No. As a Buchanan sept name it comes under the Buchanan chiefship: Michael Buchanan was confirmed as Chief of the Name and Arms of Buchanan by the Lord Lyon King of Arms in August 2018, and the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists him as Michael Buchanan of that Ilk and Arnprior.
