Clan Menzies

Vil God I Zal (With God I shall)

The Menzies lands lay in Atholl, Weem, Aberfeldy and Glendochart in Perthshire. Castle Menzies at Weem was the seat of the clan's chiefs until the main baronial line ended in 1910; in 1957 Ronald Steuart Menzies of Culdares obtained arms in the title of 'The Menzies of Menzies', and the re-formed Menzies Clan Society bought the semi-ruined castle. The clan motto is 'Vil God I Zal', 'With God I shall'.
