Clan Colquhoun

Si je puis (If I can)

Clan Colquhoun takes its name from the lands of Colquhoun near Dumbarton, and gained Luss on Loch Lomond through the marriage of Robert of Colquhoun to the daughter of the Laird of Luss in 1358. The clan is remembered for its defeat by the MacGregors at the Battle of Glen Fruin in February 1603, after which the whole MacGregor race was proscribed. The chiefs' seat is Rossdhu, on Loch Lomond at Luss.
