Clan Gardyne or Clan Garden is an armigerous lowland Scottish Clan from Angus.[1]
The chiefly family of Garden or Gardyne of that Ilk possessed the barony of Gardyne in the parish of Kirkdon in Angus. The family were based around Gardyne Castle and the village of Friockheim and were considerable landowners in Angus up untill the 17th century when much of their landholding was confiscated.
The family had embarked on a long and bloody feud with their neighbours and cousins the equally ancient Guthries of that Ilk 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.
