Clan Graham

Ne oublie (Do not forget)

Clan Graham's chiefs appear in record under David I, when William de Graham witnessed the foundation charter of Holyrood Abbey. The family rose to become Earls, Marquesses and finally Dukes of Montrose, and produced two famous soldiers: James Graham, Marquess of Montrose, and John Graham of Claverhouse, Viscount Dundee. Mugdock Castle near Milngavie was a Graham stronghold and, after Kincardine Castle was destroyed in the 1640s, a family residence.

Crest & Motto

Clan Graham Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Graham is Ne oublie (Do not forget). It appears on the Clan Graham 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.
