Clan Primrose

Fide et Fiducia (By faith and trust)

Primrose is a Lowland Scottish surname taken from the lands of Primrose in the parish of Dunfermline, Fife, and the Primroses were well settled in Fife around the Abbey of Culross by the fifteenth century. Their descendants rose through royal and legal service, acquired the barony of Barnbougle and Dalmeny between Edinburgh and South Queensferry, and were created Earls of Rosebery in 1703. Barnbougle and Dalmeny remain the seat of the family, where the category A listed Dalmeny House was built in 1814-17.
