Clan Cooper

Pour Ma Patrie (For my Country)

Cooper, also spelt Couper and Cowper, is not an independently chiefed clan: the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Cooper chief, and the Council of Scottish Clans & Associations gives Cooper as a Lowland family with the motto 'Pour Ma Patrie' but no chief, crest or seat, while also listing Cooper, Coupar, Couper and Cowper among the surnames associated with Clan MacDuff. The name is traced to the parish of Cupar in Fife, and appears in older records as Cupir, Cowpar and Coupar. One documented family of the name bought the lands of Nether Gogar near Edinburgh in 1601 and built Castle Gogar, which still stands, in 1625.
