Clan Udny

All my hope is in God

Udny is a territorial name from the barony of Udny in Aberdeenshire. The New Statistical Account of Scotland (1845) says the parish takes its name from a family that had possessed the barony for many centuries, and records Colonel Udny of Udny as its proprietor in 1845. Their tower house, Udny Castle, survives as a Category A listed building, and the family also held Knockhall Castle at Foveran until it was accidentally burnt in 1734; no Udny chief is listed today by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.

Crest & Motto

Clan Udny Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Udny is All my hope is in God. It appears on the Clan Udny 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.
