Scottish History

of Clan Wood


All at sea

It was in July of 2009 that the Clan Wood Society hosted a gathering in the clan village at the International Gathering in Edinburgh’s Holyrood Park, the society claiming that its members were representative of an ancient clan that can boast a line of Chiefs stretching back to the fifteenth century.

This is a claim that is verified through the historical record, with bearers of the Wood name present in Scotland from earliest times and, indeed, boasting a distinguished line of Chiefs of the Name.

The name is intriguing in that there are at least four possible sources of its derivation.

One is that it derives from the Old English ‘wudu’, indicating a wood, someone who worked in a wood, or someone who worked with wood, while another source is the Norman-French ‘de Vosco’, or ‘de Bosco’, indicating ‘wood.’

This is supported by thre fact that a number of de Boscos were among those Anglo-Normans who settled in Scotland in the twelfth century, later anglicising the name to Wood.

A Williemus de Bosco, for example, is recorded as having held the powerful post of Chancellor of Scotland during the reign from 1165 to 1214 of King William, better known to posterity as ‘the Lion.’ The de Boscos, meanwhile, feature a tree in their Coat of Arms.

Another more colourful source of the Wood name is the Anglo-Saxon ‘Wod’, the name of a feared Germanic god of storm that came to describe someone who became frenzied, or crazed, with the bloodlust of battle. It is perhaps more than coincidence that the Coat of Arms of at least one branch of the Woods features a crest of a naked savage wielding a club, while the motto is ‘Defend.’

‘Wood’ is the most common form of the name today, with ‘Woods’ more prevalent in Northern Ireland, with both forms English translations of ‘O’Coill’, or ‘Coil’ – names that in turn are derived from the Irish-Gaelic ‘coill’, indicating a wood.

The O’Coill and Coil names, later anglicised as Wood/Woods, were first brought to Scotland by those Irish tribes who settled on its western seaboard in the early fifth century.

Bearers of the Wood name, in a number of early and rather confusing but now defunct variations such as ‘Wod’, ‘Woid’, ‘Vode’ and ‘Vould’, make their way onto the written record from as early as the late thirteenth century, with a William Wod recorded in Moray in 1295, while a John Vode is recorded in Aberdeen in 1486.

Although settled throughout Scotland from the Borders to the Highlands and Islands, it was the areas of Angus, North Esk, and Largo Bay, in Fife, that became the main territories of the Woods.

By far the most important territory was that of Largo, because it is from here that the Chiefly line of the Woods of Largo stems.

This is through Sir Andrew Wood, the first to be named Chief of the Name of Wood, and one of the many colourful characters and patriots who bestride the pages of Scotland’s turbulent tale.

It was not on land that Sir Andrew fought for his nation’s cause, but on the high seas in his role as Lord High Admiral of Scotland. Believed to have been born about 1455, the eldest son of the merchant William Wood, he was related to the already well-established Woods of Bonnytoun, in Angus.

A Leith-based merchant and sea captain, he also utilised his considerable naval skills under both James III and James IV to protect Scottish vessels from English, Portuguese and Dutch pirates – while also accruing a tidy sum for the Scottish Exchequer by, in turn, preying on them. Owner of the fighting vessels the Flower and the Yellow Caravel, one of his most noted naval engagements came in 1490, a number of months after he had captured five English merchant vessels off Dunbar, on Scotland’s east coast.

The English retaliated by preparing a heavily armed fleet that launched an attack on Wood’s ships in the Firth of Forth. The battle lasted two days, with crowds lining the shore to watch the engagement.

Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Wood captured the English vessels – and it was for this that he was knighted by James IV and granted the Barony of Largo where, using captured English seamen, he built a castle overlooking Largo Bay, and of which only a ruined tower now remains.

As Lord High Admiral of Scotland, Wood was also responsible for supervising the development of Newhaven, at Leith, as a major centre for shipbuilding – and it was here that the Great Michael, the largest warship in Europe, was constructed between 1507 and 1511.

The admiral was the first captain of the mighty Great Michael which, weighing 1,000 tons, 240ft. in length and with a beam of 36ft., carried a crew of 300 sailors, 100 marines and 120 gunners.

The formidable armoury of the four-master carrack, or ‘great ship’, included 24 guns broadside and 36 other main guns, one of which for a time was the famed Mons Meg, now on display in Edinburgh Castle.

The ship, whose timber construction is said to have used ‘all the woods in Fife’, was hired by France in August of 1513, but sold to them just over a month later following Scotland’s devastating defeat by England at the battle of Flodden.

The Lord High Admiral died in 1515, by which time he had established the Woods of Largo as Chiefs of the Name, and it is from his exploits that the Wood motto of ‘Safe on the waves’, and crest of a sailing ship derives.

A grandson of the Admiral, John Wood of Tullidavie, fell foul of the bitter religious and political strife of his time, when he was assassinated in March of 1570, three months after the assassination of James Stewart, half-brother of the ill-starred Mary, Queen of Scots. This had resulted from his alliance with the scheming James Stewart, also known as the Regent Moray.

A supporter of the religious Reformation that swept Scotland, Wood had also served as a Lord of Session in the Scottish Parliament.

A great-grandson of the Admiral, John Wood of Orkie, as a member of the Royal Households of both James VI (James I of England) and the ill-fated Charles I, was also at the centre of Scottish affairs.

Believed to have been born in about 1587, Wood, who died in 1661, also held the barony of Anstruther in addition to his Fife estate of Orkie.

One Chief of the Name, also named Sir Andrew, was a prominent baron in the Scottish Parliament of 1560, while the Sixth Chief, Sir Robert Wood, served in the early years of the eighteenth century as a Secretary of State for Scotland.

Later in the century, his successor as Chief, Sir John Wood, served as Governor of the Isle of Man.

Another descendant of the Lord High Admiral, Captain John Wood, who was born in 1812 in Anstruther and died in 1871, was a recipient of the Royal Geographical Society’s prestigious Patron Medal for his discovery during a naval expedition from 1837 to 1838 of the River Oxus, in southeast Asia.

The line of Chiefs of the Name of Wood came to an end in 1916 but, at the time of writing, it is understood that a present-day descendant of the Admiral plans to petition Scotland’s Lord Lyon King of Arms for the right to be recognised as Chief of the Name.

Entrepreneurs and heroes

Bearers of the Wood name have thrived beyond Scottish shores – not least the colourful Scots-Canadian Alexander Wood, who was born in 1772 in Fetteresso, Aberdeenshire.

Settling in York in 1793, he entered into business partnership with fellow Scot William Allan, later opening his own store in the city that would become Toronto, selling luxury goods imported from Britain.

Later becoming established as a leading city magistrate, he was at the centre of a lurid sex scandal in 1810 involving allegations of homosexual conduct.

Subjected to public ridicule and humiliation and nicknamed “Molly Wood” – with “molly” a slang term for a homosexual – he returned to Scotland.

But he was back two years later, and soon regained his social standing, while in 1827 he bought 50 acres of land at what is now Toronto’s Carlton and Yonge streets.

Returning to his native land for a visit in 1842, he died two years later and was buried in his birthplace of Fetteresso.

Recognised as one of Toronto’s founding citizens, there is a prominent statue of him at the corner of the city’s Alexander and Church streets, while its Wellesley gay village has an Alexander Street and a Wood Street.

Also in Canada, Andrew Trew Wood was the Irish-Canadian businessman and politician who was born in 1826 in Co. Armagh.

Immigrating to Canada when he was aged about 20, he established his own hardware store in Hamilton ten years later, his wealth eventually allowing him to become a founding director of the Hamilton and Lake Erie Railway Company in 1869 and, in 1881, the Ontario Cotton Mills Company.

Also an owner and first president of the Hamilton Steel and Iron Company, Wood served as a Liberal member of the Canadian House of Commons and, from 1901 until his death two years later, in the Canadian Senate.

In shipbuilding, John Wood, who was born in 1788 and died in 1860, was the Scot who, after setting up a shipbuilding concern in Quebec with his brother Charles, returned to Scotland and opened a yard at Dumbarton, on the Clyde.

His company, Messrs John Wood, is best known for its construction for Henry Bell in 1812 of the 28-paddle steamship Comet.

One inventive bearer of the Wood name was the Scottish physician Alexander Wood, born in Edinburgh in 1817 and who died in 1884.

A descendant of Sir Andrew Wood, the Lord High Admiral of Scotland, and a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, he is credited with the invention in 1853 of the first hypodermic needle to use a syringe and hollow needle.

His wife, ironically, was a morphine addict and died from an overdose that she administered into her veins using her husband’s revolutionary invention.

On the bloody field of battle, no less than four Woods have been honoured with the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for gallantry for British and Commonwealth forces.

Born in 1818, John Wood was one such Scottish hero of battle.

He had been a captain in the 20th Bombay Native Infantry, British Indian Army, during the Persian War, when, in December of 1856 at Bushire, Persia (now Iran), he was at the head of an assault column.

The assault was on an enemy fort and Captain Wood was the first to reach the parapet, where he immediately came under attack by the garrison.

Despite being struck by several musket balls, he killed the enemy leader and, followed by his men, overcame the garrison and took the fort.

Wood, who later achieved the rank of Colonel, died in 1878, while his VC was the first to be won in a British Indian Army Regiment.

Born in 1838 near Braintree, in Essex, Field Marshall Sir Henry Wood received his VC for his part in an action in October of 1858 at Sinwaho, during the Indian Mutiny.

Then a lieutenant with the 17th Lancers, he attacked and drove off a band of rebels and later rescued a local merchant whom another band of rebels were about to execute.

The soldier, who also saw action in the Zulu War of 1879, died in 1919 having attained the rank of Field Marshall.

The two other Victoria Crosses awarded to soldiers of the name of Wood were all won during the terrible carnage of the First World War.

Wilfred Wood, born in 1897 and who survived until the age of 85, had been a private in the 10th Battalion, The Northumberland Fusiliers, when in October of 1918, near Casa Vana, Italy, he single-handedly destroyed two enemy machine-gun nests, resulting in the surrender of 300 men.

The other recipient of the VC was Henry Wood, who was born in 1882 in Newton-on-Derwent, Yorkshire, and who also gained his award in October of 1918.

It was while he was serving as a corporal with the 2nd Battalion, Scots Guards, in St Python, France, that he took command of his platoon after its sergeant was killed and led a successful crossing under heavy fire of a vital river crossing. Later promoted to Lance Corporal, he died in 1924.

From the battlefield to politics, one of the most colourful and charismatic figures of the Scottish nationalist movement was Gwendoline Meacham, better known as the artist, writer and political activist Wendy Wood.

Ironically, for a passionate Scottish nationalist, she was born in 1892 in Kent, in the ‘garden of England’, later living for a time with her parents in South Africa.

It was to emphasise her artistic connections that she took her mother’s maiden name of Wood – her maternal grandfather being the sculptor S.P. Wood and his brother the painter T.P. Wood.

Settling in Scotland and taking up the cause of Home Rule for Scotland, she was one of the founders of the National Party of Scotland in 1928, a forerunner of the Scottish National Party (SNP) of today.

Two years later, in one of her many widely publicised campaigns to press the case for Home Rule, she led a group of fellow nationalists into Stirling Castle and, tearing down the Union Flag, replaced it with the Lion Rampant.

By 1949 she had founded the Scottish Patriots, while in 1972 she staged a hunger strike to draw attention to her cause.

Wood, who had spent some time living as a crofter before moving to Edinburgh in the early 1950s, was the author of a number of books that include her 1952 Tales of the Western Isles, her autobiographical Yours Sincerely, published in 1970, and, a year before her death in 1981, Silver Chanter.

In addition to her writing, artistic work and political activism, she was also a regular and popular teller of Scottish tales on the 1970s’ BBC children’s television programme Jackanory.

In contemporary times, Sir Ian Wood, born in Aberdeen in 1942, is the leading Scottish businessman and philanthropist who is chairman of the Wood Group, Britain’s biggest engineering concern.

Awarded the CBE in 1982 and knighted in 1994, his many other honours include an honorary degree of business administration from Aberdeen’s Robert Gordon University, of which he was appointed Chancellor in 2004.

In addition to having pledged £50m of his personal fortune towards the creation of a special garden project in his home city, he is also responsible for the setting up of the Third World charity, The Wood Family Trust.

Of his philanthropic work, Sir Ian Wood has said: “We are all part of the same humanity – we must all contribute to humanity, not just take from it.”

English History

of Clan Wood


Fields of battle

The Wood name is intriguing in that there are at least four possible sources of derivation.

One is that it derives from the Old English ‘wudu’, indicating a wood, someone who worked in a wood, or someone who worked with wood, while another source is the Norman-French ‘de Vosco’, or ‘de Bosco’, indicating ‘wood.’

Another more colourful source of the name is the Anglo-Saxon ‘Wod’, the name of a feared Germanic god of storm that came to describe someone who became frenzied, or crazed, with the bloodlust of battle – and it is perhaps more than coincidence that the Coat of Arms of at least one branch of the Woods features a crest of a naked savage wielding a club, while the motto is ‘Defend.’

‘Wood’ is the most common form of the name today, with ‘Woods’ more prevalent in Northern Ireland, with both forms English translations of ‘O’Coill’, or ‘Coil’ – names that in turn are derived from the Irish-Gaelic ‘coill’, indicating a wood.

Bearers of the Wood name, in a number of early and rather confusing but now defunct variations such as ‘Wod’, ‘Woid’, ‘Vode’ and ‘Vould’, make their way onto the written record from an early date, but in England they are particularly associated with a family who settled in Leicestershire in the wake of the Norman Conquest of 1066.

By this date, England had become a nation with several powerful competitors to the throne.

In what were extremely complex family, political and military machinations, the monarch was the Anglo-Saxon Harold II, who had succeeded to the throne following the death of Edward the Confessor.

But his right to the throne was contested by two powerful competitors – his brother-in-law King Harold Hardrada of Norway, in alliance with Tostig, Harold II’s brother, and Duke William II of Normandy.

In what has become known as The Year of Three Battles, Hardrada invaded England and gained victory over the English king on September 20 at the battle of Fulford, in Yorkshire.

Five days later, however, Harold II decisively defeated his brother-in-law and brother at the battle of Stamford Bridge.

But he had little time to celebrate his victory, having to immediately march south from Yorkshire to encounter a mighty invasion force, led by Duke William of Normandy that had landed at Hastings, in East Sussex.

Harold’s battle-hardened but exhausted force of Anglo-Saxon soldiers confronted the Normans on October 14 in a battle subsequently depicted on the Bayeux tapestry – a 23ft. long strip of embroidered linen thought to have been commissioned eleven years after the event by the Norman Odo of Bayeux.

Harold drew up a strong defensive position, at the top of Senlac Hill, building a shield wall to repel Duke William’s cavalry and infantry.

The Normans suffered heavy losses, but through a combination of the deadly skill of their archers and the ferocious determination of their cavalry they eventually won the day.

Anglo-Saxon morale had collapsed on the battlefield as word spread through the ranks that Harold had been killed – the Bayeux Tapestry depicting this as having happened when he was struck by an arrow to the head.

Amidst the carnage of the battlefield, it was difficult to identify him – the last of the Anglo-Saxon kings.

Some sources assert William ordered his body to be thrown into the sea, while others state it was secretly buried at Waltham Abbey.

What is known with certainty, however, is that William in celebration of his great victory founded Battle Abbey, near the site of the battle, ordering that the altar be sited on the spot where Harold was believed to have fallen.

William was declared King of England on December 25, and the complete subjugation of his Anglo-Saxon subjects followed.

Those Normans who had fought on his behalf were rewarded with the lands of Anglo-Saxons.

Among them was the Norman knight Ernald de Bosco – sometimes rendered as de Vosco – and it was his family who came to hold lands in Thorpe Vale, Leicestershire.

It is this family who have the motto of ‘The tree may be recognised by its fruits’ and crest of an oak tree.

Confusing matters somewhat, it was less than 100 years after the Conquest that the family lost the bulk of its English lands – but found new lands in Scotland after being invited to settle there, along with other Anglo-Normans, by the Scots monarch David II.

Anglicising their name to Wood, they firstly settled in Dumfriesshire and later acquired further lands much further north in Angus, North Esk and Largo Bay, in Fife.

Recognised as a clan, the proud motto of the Scottish Woods is ‘Safe on the waves’ and crest a ship under sail.

Ironically, it was a prominent member of this family – who had originally been settled in Leicestershire – who proved a particular thorn in the flesh for England during its frequently turbulent relationships with Scotland.

This was through the Leith-based merchant, sea captain and later High Admiral of Scotland Sir Andrew Wood.

Born in about 1455, he utilised his considerable naval skills under both James III and James IV to protect Scottish vessels from English, Portuguese and Dutch pirates – while also accruing a tidy sum for the Scottish Exchequer by, in turn, preying on them.

Owner of the fighting vessels the Flower and the Yellow Caravel, one of his most noted naval engagements came in 1490, a number of months after he had captured five English merchant vessels off Dunbar, on Scotland’s east coast.

The English retaliated by preparing a heavily armed fleet that launched an attack on Wood’s ships in the Firth of Forth. The battle lasted two days, with crowds lining the shore to watch the engagement.

Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, Wood captured the English vessels – and it was for this that he was knighted by James IV and granted the Barony of Largo where, using captured English seamen, he built a castle overlooking Largo Bay, and of which only a ruined tower now remains.

In later centuries and in many different conflicts, no fewer than four Woods have been honoured with the Victoria Cross (VC), the highest award for gallantry for British and Commonwealth forces.

Born in 1818, John Wood had been a captain in the 20th Bombay Native Infantry, British Indian Army, during the Persian War, when, in December of 1856 at Bushire, Persia (now Iran), he was at the head of an assault column.

Creative minds

Away from the battlefield, bearers of the Wood name have shown a particular flair for invention and business.

One in the field of medicine was the Scottish physician Alexander Wood, born in Edinburgh in 1817 and who died in 1884.

A descendant of Sir Andrew Wood, the Lord High Admiral of Scotland, and a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, he is credited with the invention in 1853 of the first hypodermic needle to use a syringe and hollow needle.

His wife, ironically, was a morphine addict and died from an overdose that she administered into her veins using her husband’s revolutionary invention.

Recognised as a pioneer of ultraviolet and infrared photography and its applications, Robert Williams Wood was the American physicist and inventor born in 1868 in Concord, Massachusetts.

Professor of optical physics at John Hopkins University, he developed what is known as Wood’s Lamp – the ultraviolet lamp used in medicine – while the Wood Effect describes the glowing appearance of foliage photographed by infrared.

Recipient of honours that include the Henry Draper Medal of the National Academy of Sciences he died in 1955, while the crater Wood on the far side of the Moon is named in his honour.

Born in 1880 in Mapletown, Iowa, Garfield Arthur Wood was the American entrepreneur and inventor better known as Gar Wood.

His many inventions include a hydraulic lift that he first designed to unload coal from railway trucks, while as a boating enthusiast he set a number of world water speed records from 1920 to 1932 for racing a specially adapted motorboat.

His first world record – of 74.870mph – came in 1920 when he raced his motorboat Miss America along the Detroit River.

On the St Clair River in 1932, he became the first man to travel at more than 100mph on water, reaching a speed of 124.860mph.

One of his most spectacular stunts had come eleven years earlier when he raced one of his boats against the Havana Special train – a distance of 1,250 miles up the Atlantic coast from Miami to New York City.

Taking a time of 47 hours and 23 minutes, he reached New York twelve minutes ahead of the train.

Having established the Wood Hoist Company in Detroit, later Garwood Industries, he died in 1971.

A pioneer of underwater acoustics and sonar, Albert Beaumont Wood was the British physicist better known as A. B. Wood.

Born in 1890 in Uppermill, Yorkshire, he joined a noted team of fellow scientists at Manchester University who included Sir Ernest Rutherford, Hans Geiger and Neil Bohr.

Appointed a research fellow at Liverpool University when aged 24, in October of 1915 he was appointed to the Board of Invention and Research to explore novel ways of aiding Britain’s war effort against Germany.

His efforts led to the gradual development of what became known as sonar, then known as ASDIC (Allied Supreme Detection Investigation Committee) to detect enemy submarines.

Later deputy of the Admiralty Research Laboratory and deputy director of research for the Royal Scientific Service, he was the author of a number of important textbooks that include A Textbook of Sound, first published in 1930 and with a revised edition published in 1955.

The recipient of an OBE in 1939 in recognition of having taken on the highly delicate and dangerous task of dismantling a German mine he died in 1964, while other awards and honours include the Duddell Medal of the Institute of Physics and the Pioneers of Underwater Acoustics Medal from the Acoustical Society of America.

In the world of business, Andrew Trew Wood was the Irish-Canadian businessman and politician born in 1826 in Co. Armagh.

Immigrating to Canada when he was aged about 20, he established his own hardware store in Hamilton ten years later, his wealth eventually allowing him to become a founding director of the Hamilton and Lake Erie Railway Company in 1869 and, in 1881, the Ontario Cotton Mills Company.

Also an owner and first president of the Hamilton Steel and Iron Company, Wood served as a Liberal member of the Canadian House of Commons and, from 1901 until his death two years later, in the Canadian Senate.

In the more contemporary world of business, Sir Ian Wood is the Scots-born businessman whose Wood Group services not only the North Sea oil industry but also those of more than 50 other countries.

Born in Aberdeen, he served as chief executive of Wood Group from 1967 to 2006 and as its chairman until 2012.

In 2010 he offered £85m to Aberdeen City Council towards a £140m proposed project to redesign his home city’s Union Terrace Gardens.

But the proposed redevelopment proved controversial with some local residents and, although later ‘passed’ by a referendum in the city, it was eventually rejected by the council.

Awarded a CBE in 1982, he was further honoured with a knighthood twelve years later.

In the creative world of architecture, John Wood, known as John Wood the Elder, was the English architect born in Twiverton, near Bath, in 1704, the son of a local builder.

An antiquarian in addition to architect, he extensively surveyed the mysterious Stonehenge megalithic complex in 1740, but he is best known for his landmark architectural work in Bath that includes Queen Square and The Circus.

Described as one of the outstanding architects of the day, he died in 1754.

His son, known as John Wood the Younger, born in 1728 and who died in 1782, followed in his father’s visionary footsteps by carrying out famous architectural work in Bath that includes the Royal Crescent and the Bath Assembly Rooms, while he also completed work on the Circus following his father’s death.
