Clan Wardlaw

The Wardlaws held the lands of Torry in Fife by the beginning of the 14th century and produced two notable medieval churchmen: Walter Wardlaw, Bishop of Glasgow and a cardinal, and his nephew Henry Wardlaw, Bishop of St Andrews, who founded the University of St Andrews, Scotland's first, from 1410. A later branch bought the Pitreavie estate in Fife in 1608 and built Pitreavie Castle there, and Sir Henry Wardlaw of Pitreavie was created a baronet of Nova Scotia in 1631. No chief is currently listed for the name by the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs.
