Clan Sandilands

Spero Meliora (I hope for better things)

The Sandilands family takes its name from lands in Clydesdale and rose through marriage to the Douglases: Sir James de Sandilands married Eleanor, only daughter of Sir Archibald Douglas, Regent of Scotland, and received the lands of Calder in Lothian from his brother-in-law William IV, Lord of Douglas. A later Sir James Sandilands, the last preceptor of the Knights of St John at Torphichen, resigned its lands to the Crown and was made Lord Torphichen by Mary, Queen of Scots. Historic Environment Scotland records Calder House, near Mid Calder in West Lothian, as the seat of Lord Torphichen, the barony of Calder having been held by the Sandilands family since about 1350.
