Clan Skirving

Fit Inde Firmior

Skirving is a Lowland Scottish surname associated with East Lothian rather than a Highland-style clan with a chief; COSCA's directory lists no chief for it, and the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Skirving chief. The name is best known through three men: 'Black' John Skirving of Plewlandhill, who carried the Earl Marischal's banner at Flodden in 1513; the farmer-songwriter Adam Skirving (1719-1803); and the political reformer William Skirving, one of the Scottish martyrs transported for sedition, who reached New South Wales in 1794 and died at Sydney in 1796.
