Clan Muirhead

Auxilio Dei (By the help of God)

Muirhead is a Lowland family recorded separately from Muir, with its principal house at Lauchope in Lanarkshire; COSCA gives the family's lands as Bothwell. John Muirhead, Laird of Muirhead, fell at Flodden in 1513 with over two hundred of his clansmen, and Lauchope House was set ablaze in 1570 after sheltering the slayer of the Regent Moray. The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs lists no Muirhead chief.
