Clan Home


Clan Home (pronounced and often spelled as Hume) originate from the Scottish Borders. They can trace their descent to Cospatrick I, Earl of Northumbria in the 11th century, and were a powerful force in Scottish politics and military. A Home clan residence was captured by Oliver Cromwell upon his invasion of Scotland in 1650, and the sixth Lord Home was given the title of Earl of Home in the early 17th century.

Most recently, the fourteenth Earl of Home (Alec Douglas-Home) renounced his peerage to become the British Prime Minister in 1963.

The Home clan motto is "True to the End" and the clan crest is a lion.
