'''Clan Gardyne''' is a lowland [[Scottish clan]] from [[Angus, Scotland|Angus]] |
|||
The chiefly family of Garden or Gardyne of that Ilk possessed the barony of Gardyne in the parish of [[Kirkdon]] in [[Angus]] and are first recorded in the locality in 1008 as the De Garthuen family. The family were based around [[Gardyne Castle]] and were considerable landowners in Angus up untill the 17th century when much of their landholding was confiscated. |

==History== |
||
===Origins of the clan=== |
|||
First described as the Gardyne of that Ilk in the Ragman Roll 1296 the clan was centred on [[Gardyne Castle]] and their lands of Cononsyth and Middleton in the county of Angus. |
|||
The surname is frequently spelt [[Gardyne]] and according to the historian George Fraser Black, a family ''long of that Ilk'' hailed from the barony of Gardyne in the parish of Kirkden in the county of [[Angus, Scotland|Angus]].<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> They built a strong tower, [[Gardyne Castle]], which was extended in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> |
|||
==Feud with the Guthrie of Guthrie that Ilk== |
|||
The family had embarked on a long and bloody feud with their neighbours and cousins the [[Clan Guthrie]] of [[Guthrie Castle]] situated 2 miles from Gardyne Castle. The fued started in 1558 when the Gardynes stabbed to death the Guthrie of Guthrie in a fight which precipitated 80 years of fighting and litigation. Finally after [[Patrick Gardyne of that Ilk]] was murdered, King James VI had had enough and confiscated the lands and castles of both families. The Guthries managed to buy their castle back however the Gardynes moved 1 mile east to lands they owed around Middleton. |
|||
===16th century clan conflicts=== |
|||
==18th Century== |
|||
The Clan Gardyne feuded with the nearby [[Clan Guthrie]] in the 16th century.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> The Guthries' [[Guthrie Castle]] was only a few miles away. In 1578 Patrick Gardyne of that Ilk was killed by William Guthrie and in the feud that followed both clans appear to have suffered heavy casualties.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> There are two accounts of how the feud started: According to the Gardynes, Patrick Gardyne and his kinsman Robert were killed on Carbundow Moor in 1578 and their deaths were avenged by Thomas Gairden who killed Alexander Guthrie in [[Inverpeffer]] in 1587. However, according to the Guthries, Alexander Guthrie was murdered by his cousin, Thomas Gairden, and his death was avenged by his nephew, William Guthrie who killed Patrick Gardyne. The result of the feud was ultimately a victory for the more powerful Clan Guthrie. David Gardyne, the tenth Laird then sold the castle and much of the lands, acquiring the estate of Lawton.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> |
|||
The family were strong Jacobites with the head of the family David Gardyne of Middleton out in 1715 and his eldest son by his wife Anne dughter of David Graham 10th of Fintry raised a troop to fight in the rebellion of 1745. This son was forced into exile after the rebellion and he died in poverty in Nieuport, Flanders in 1749. Their daughter Clementina married the Jacobite James Graham 6th Viscount Dundee who died in exile in 1759. |
|||
===17th century and Thirty Years' War=== |
|||
==Founding of Friockheim== |
|||
David Gardyne, the tenth Laird married Janet Lindsay, daughter of Sir David [[clan Lindsay|Lindsay]], Lord Edzell in 1602. The male line of this family died out and is now represented by Bruce-Gardyne of Middleton.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> |
|||
The birth of the village of [[Friockheim]] took place soon after 1814 when Thomas Gardyne of Middleton succeeded his brother as the laird of the lands of Friock and feued them to Mr John Andson, of Arbroath, who built a flax spinning mill and as proprietor-in-feu attracted many textile workers to come and settle on easy terms in what was at first known as Friock feus [2]. |
|||
The arms of a black boar's head on a silver shield are borne by the Gardyne of Troup branch of the clan, who are descended from the Gardynes of Banchory.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> The first Laird of Troup was sent by [[Charles I of England]] to assist [[Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden]] during the [[Thirty Years' War]] where he saw distinguished service and remained in the Swedish court until 1654. When he returned to Scotland he purchased the lands of Troup in Banffshire which remain with this family today.<ref name="Clan Gardyne"/> |
|||
In the 19th century the family purchased [[Finavon Castle]] which had been owned previously by their [[Clan Lindsay|Lindsay]] ancestors. |
|||
==Castles== |
|||
The Current head of the family is Charles Bruce-Gardyne 14th Laird of Middleton , and son of [[Captain Evan Bruce-Gardyne]] the 13th Laird. Charles Bruce-Gardyne was born 15 Feb 1927 and he is a member of the [[Royal Company of Archers]] and a member of the Sovereign's Bodyguard in Scotland. He married Dorothy Margaret Blair-Imrie, daughter of Lt.-Col. Hew Angus Christopher Blair-Imrie killed in action, on 16 April 196l.

History[edit]
Origins of the clan[edit]
The surname is frequently spelt Gardyne and according to the historian George Fraser Black, a family long of that Ilk hailed from the barony of Gardyne in the parish of Kirkden in the county of Angus.[1] They built a strong tower, Gardyne Castle, which was extended in the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.[1]
16th century clan conflicts[edit]
The Clan Gardyne feuded with the nearby Clan Guthrie in the 16th century.[1] The Guthries' Guthrie Castle was only a few miles away. In 1578 Patrick Gardyne of that Ilk was killed by William Guthrie and in the feud that followed both clans appear to have suffered heavy casualties.[1] There are two accounts of how the feud started: According to the Gardynes, Patrick Gardyne and his kinsman Robert were killed on Carbundow Moor in 1578 and their deaths were avenged by Thomas Gairden who killed Alexander Guthrie in Inverpeffer in 1587. However, according to the Guthries, Alexander Guthrie was murdered by his cousin, Thomas Gairden, and his death was avenged by his nephew, William Guthrie who killed Patrick Gardyne. The result of the feud was ultimately a victory for the more powerful Clan Guthrie. David Gardyne, the tenth Laird then sold the castle and much of the lands, acquiring the estate of Lawton.[1]
17th century and Thirty Years' War[edit]
David Gardyne, the tenth Laird married Janet Lindsay, daughter of Sir David Lindsay, Lord Edzell in 1602. The male line of this family died out and is now represented by Bruce-Gardyne of Middleton.[1]
The arms of a black boar's head on a silver shield are borne by the Gardyne of Troup branch of the clan, who are descended from the Gardynes of Banchory.[1] The first Laird of Troup was sent by Charles I of England to assist Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden during the Thirty Years' War where he saw distinguished service and remained in the Swedish court until 1654. When he returned to Scotland he purchased the lands of Troup in Banffshire which remain with this family today.[1]
