Clan MacNaughton

I hope in God

Clan Macnaughton's name is the Gaelic Neachdain, the same as the Pictish Nectan, and Skene supposed the clan to have belonged originally to Moray. Tradition holds that Alexander III made Gilchrist Macnaughton hereditary keeper of the castle and island of Fraoch Eilean on Loch Awe, though sources differ on the year. The clan's principal seat later became Dunderave on Loch Fyne, built in 1596, which passed to the Campbells of Ardkinglas in the early 18th century; in 1818 the Lord Lyon accepted Edmund A MacNaghten of Bushmills, County Antrim, as chief, and the chiefly line has been of Bushmills since.

Crest & Motto

Clan MacNaughton Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan MacNaughton is I hope in God. It appears on the Clan MacNaughton 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.
