DAVIDSONS

Picture
Clan Davidson
True to their Scottish heritage and obstinate pride, Clan Davidson would show their fiery dispositions and hot temper reactions at the slightest provocation or questionable insult regarding their honor. Over the course of many generations they prove themselves to be skilled warriors not afraid of a little bloodletting. Centuries later in America, this would still proved to be true.
The early years of the Scottish nation was a turbulent time, where survival was dependent on sheer strength and the force of law lay on the edge of a battle worn claymore. The Davidsons were part of the mighty Clan Chattan, a powerful confederation of Clans renowned throughout Scotland's history. This confederation of related Clans would amass under a common flag when faced with a foe foolhardy enough to challenge any family of Clan Chattan. 

Origins of Clan Davidson

1300 -  “Sapienter Si Sincere” meaning “wisely if sincerely” Clan Davidson Motto. Before the 1300’s the most powerful family Scotland had ever known were the Comyns, dominating the Grampians, Buchan and Moray (Northeast Scotland). The Davidsons were one of the earliest Clans to join the mighty Clan Chattan, a powerful group of Clans renowned throughout Scotland's history.​
