Historical Context
The Farquharson Clan is a Scottish clan with roots tracing back to the 14th century, named after Farquhar, son of Shaw, who resided in the Braes of Mar. Known for their fierce loyalty and bravery, the Farquharson Clan played a significant role in historical battles, including the Jacobite Risings. One notable figure, John Farquharson of Inverey, was a passionate supporter of the House of Stuart, pledging allegiance to Bonnie Dundee in 1689. The clan's storied history includes the tragic loss of a member at the Battle of Pinkie in 1547 and their inclusion in the Chattan Confederation in 1595. Their family seat, Braemar Castle, remains a testament to their enduring legacy, celebrated today through Highland Games and traditional ceilidhs.
