Scottish Tattoo Designs >> Wedderburn

Wedderburn Clan Tattoos - Wautier de Wederburn, who rendered homage to Edward I in 1296, is the first of this name to appear on record in Scotland. The lands of Wederburn lay in Berkshire. References can also be found to John de Wedderburn living in 1364 and William de Wedderburn living between 1426 and 1452. However the lands of Wedderb8urn passed at an early date to the family of Home.

Following the decline of the Border Wedderburns, the family seemed to have settled in Forforshire. By the year 1400, four distinct yet closely related families could be found in Dundee and at Kingennie in Forfar. One of the Dundee families was that of James Wedderburn, whose three sons, James, John and Robert, were among the earliest Scottish Protestant Reformers they united to round the famous Guide and Godlie Ballads, otherwise known as the Wedderburn Psalms. From the eldest of these brothers descended James Wedderburn, Bishop of Dunblane in 1636,who,as the friend of Archbishop Laud and those responsible for introducing a new liturgy to the Church, was driven from Scotland in 1638. He retired to Canterbury, where he is buried in the cathedral. Two Dundee families are now extinct in the direct male line of Walter Wedderburn of Welgait and David Wedderburn, ancestor of the lairds of Craigie.

The fourth and by far the most important family of this name sprang from Robert Wedderburn. His grandson, Alexander, was clerk of Dundee from 1557 to 1582. Alexander's son, Wedderburn of Kingennie, was favourite of James VI, and accompanied him to England in 1603. On his return to Scotland, the king presented him with a ring from his own hand. His descendents obtained a Crown charter in 1708 erecting the lands of East Powrie into a barony to be called Wedderburn.
