Clan Binning

Virtute Doloque

Binning, also written Binny or Binnie, is a West Lothian name shared with the ancient parish of Binning near Linlithgow; Electric Scotland's account of the family treats Binnie and Binny as contractions of Binning and says the name appears to have been originally French, 'Benigne'. It is not an independent clan: the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Binning chief and the Council of Scottish Clans & Associations has no Binning entry, the name surviving mainly as the peerage title Lord Binning, first held by Sir Thomas Hamilton and later borne by the eldest son of the Earls of Haddington. By tradition the family is linked with the farmer who hid armed men in a wagon of hay to retake the English-held fort at Linlithgow for Robert the Bruce; the Gazetteer for Scotland names him William Bunnock and says only that the place was 'said to have been captured' this way, and the accounts differ on the year. A separate bearer of the name, Hugh Binning (c.1627-1653), was elected professor of philosophy at Glasgow before he was nineteen and was afterwards minister of Govan.
