Welcome to Clan Lyon

Clan Lyon - Glamis Castle

Clan Lyon is a Scottish clan associated with the lands of Glen Lyon in Perthshire, Scotland.

Origin of the name: Leon, Normandy, France. Although Sir Iain Moncreiffe, perhaps the greatest herald genealogist, believed his family were of Celtic origin and descended from a younger son of the Lamonts, the generally accepted view is that they descended from a French family called de Leon, who came north with Edgar, son of Malcolm III, at the end of the eleventh century to fight against his uncle, Donald Bane, the usurper of the throne. Edgar was triumphant, and de Leon received lands in Perthshire which were later called Glen Lyon. Roger de Leonne witnessed a charter of Edgar to the Abbey at Dunfermline in 1105.
