Tracing a descent from the twelfth century Walter Fitz Alan who held the hereditary title of High Steward to the Scottish king, it was through the marriage of his son Robert to Marjorie, daughter of Robert the Bruce, that the Royal House of Stewart was born.

• Tragedy dogged them over the centuries – with James I stabbed to death, James II killed when a cannon exploded near where he had been standing, James III murdered, James IV killed at the battle of Flodden in 1513, Mary Queen of Scots falling victim to the executioner’s axe in 1587 and the flight into exile of James VII (James II of England) in 1688.

• The clan's turbulent exploits spanned the prominent and lofty saga of Scotland's history.
