Clan Hannay (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Clan Hannay is a Lowland Scottish clan.Although the modern surname Hannay is likely derived from the place name Hannethe, the precise identity of the place is unknown.The family can be traced back to Galloway in South-West Scotland. The name 'Gillbert de Hannethe' appears on the Ragman Rolls of 1296, submitting to King Edward I of England. The Hannay's lands of Sorbie in Wigtownshire were reportedly acquired by the same Gillbert de Hannethe.Unlike many Scottish nobles and clans the Clan Hannay did not support Robert the Bruce but instead supported John Balliol because he was more local to them.
