Clan Chisholm is a Scottish clan originating in the Highlands of Scotland. The name came from a place near Hawick in the Borders. The family originally came from England after the Norman Conquest, later settling in the Highlands.[2]
A key moment came in 1359, when a member of the Chisholm family became constable of Urquhart Castle by Loch Ness. Soon after, the family acquired Erchless Castle, which became their main seat.[3]
The clan was known for loyalty and courage. Many Chisholms fought for the Jacobites during the uprisings of the 18th century, supporting the army of Prince Charles Edward Stuart.[4]
The clan crest shows a hand holding a dagger that pierces a boar’s head. The motto is "Feros Ferio", meaning “I strike the fierce one.” This symbolizes bravery and strength.
In later times, Alexander Chisholm served in the British Parliament, though his tenure also brought hardship to some local people through land changes.
Today, the chief of the clan is still known as “The Chisholm,” and the name continues to be remembered by people in Scotland and around the world.
