Clan Graham is a Scottish clan that claimed territories in the Highland and lowlands of Scotland.  According to legend the Grahams were descendant of “The Graeme” who was said to be a great Caledonian chief who drove the Romans from Scotland.  Most scholars believe that the Grahams were either of Norman or Flemish Descent. The first record of the Graham surname came in 1128 when Sir William de Graham assisted David I in his claim to the Scottish Crown.

The motto of the clan is Ne oublie which means Forget Not.  The clans crest features a falcon killing a stork.

The historic seat of the clan is Mugdock Castle located in the parish of Straathblane.  The lands were acquired by the Grahams in the 13th century and the castle was build sometime in the 14th century.  The castle remained the seat of the clan until the late 16 hundreds when the chief purchased Buchanan Castle.  Buchanan Castle remains the seat of the clan even though it was sold in 1925.

The Clan Graham Society is run by an elected six member council who oversees the activities of the clan.  Membership is open to anyone who is a descendant of the Scottish Clan or one of its septs.    The society publishes a newsletter called The Clan Graham News, six times a year.

Tourists can visit the Mugdock castle where the remaining tower of the castle contains a museum with restored rooms and info panels about the family.
