Clan Stewart of Appin


Clan Stewart of Appin, also known as The Loyal Clan, is a branch of clan Stewart similar to the Stuarts of Bute. However, they have also been considered a clan in their own right since their establishment in the 15th century.

The progenitor of clan Stewart of Appin, Dugald, was born as a result of an affair between the chief, Sir John Stewart, and the daughter of MacLaren of Ardvech. Sir John legitimised his son with his last breaths, after his wedding party was attacked by those seeking to kill the Lord of Lorn. Years later, in what was later called the Battle of Stalc, Dugald decimated the MacFarlane’s military strength and took revenge against his father’s murderer. This solidified his claim to Appin and the nearby areas, and he was formally granted the lands a few years later.

The Stewart of Appin motto is "Quihidder Wil Zie" (Whither Will Ye) and the clan crest is a bearded unicorn head.
