Grant

Clan Badge

The Clan Grant Motto is Stand Fast, Craigellachie! Craigellachie, rock of alarm, is the hill begind the town of Aviemore and also the name of a village 30 miles down the river Spey from Aviemore. During the halcyon days of the Clan Grant, it was stated that the goal of the Chiefs of Grant was to hold all of the lands between the two Craigellachies.  They very nearly succeeded. The belt and buckle clansman's badge features a mountain in flames.  In former times, large pyres or bonfires were ignited on high hills or mountains in Strathspey to signify a gathering of the men of the clan, to celebrate a joyous event, or to warn the clan of impending danger.   Clan Grant Society - USA 

Over the years I have corresponded with many researchers working on this family.  I would especially like to thank Alastair Grant for his generosity in sharing his work.  See the Grant genealogy below for other contributors.
