| The Barony of Belshes was part of the lordship of Jedburgh in Roxbureghshire, Scotland. The name Belshes is believed to have originated from Bellasis in France, but there is also evidence of lands with the same name in Northumberland, England. The principal family of the Clan Belshes was Belches of that Ilk, and there was also a cadet family, Belches of Tofts. One of the most noteworthy members of the Belches of Tofts was Alexander Belches, who was a burgess of Glasgow in 1631.
The Clan Belshes was known for its influence and status in Scottish society. Richard de Belchis, for example, had a seal, which was recorded in the 1850 catalog “Ancient Scottish Seals.” This demonstrates his elevated standing and importance in Scottish society during the time. Despite the fact that the direct line of the family ended in the 18th century, the Clan Belshes remains an integral part of Scotland’s history and cultural heritage. Throughout the centuries, the Clan Belshes has left an indelible mark on Scotland’s history. Whether it was through their contributions to the community as burgesses of Glasgow or their impact on Scottish society through their elevated status, the Belches family continues to be remembered and celebrated as a storied and important Scottish clan. |
