A name with a number of possible points of origin that include from a family of Norman knights who settled in Scotland in the mid-twelfth century, ‘Grant’ features prominently in the pages of the colourful drama that is the nation's history.

• One indication of their prominence is that Sir Lawrence de Grant is recorded as Sheriff of Inverness in 1260, while their main territories were Strathspey and Rothiemurchas.

• Absorbing and assimilating the culture of the native Gaels, they were for some time allied to the powerful Clan Gordon before bitterly quarrelling with them over religious matters.
