Our History

Royal Crest of Boyd Family

The origins of the Boyd family can be traced back to the 12th century, when a man named Simon de Boyd was granted lands in Ayrshire by King David I of Scotland. Simon's descendants would go on to become one of the most powerful and influential families in Scotland, with many members holding positions of power and influence in the Scottish court.

Deep Heritage To Scottish Royal Family

One of the most famous historical ties to our family tree was Sir Robert Boyd, who served as an ambassador to the court of King James IV of Scotland. Sir Robert was a close advisor to the king and played a crucial role in the negotiations that led to the Treaty of Perpetual Peace between Scotland and England in 1502.

Another notable relative of the Boyd family was Sir Thomas Boyd, who was appointed Lord Boyd by King James V of Scotland in 1540. Sir Thomas was a loyal supporter of the king and played a key role in the politics of the Scottish court during this time.

The Boyd family also played a significant role in the religious and cultural life of Scotland. John Boyd, who was a member of the Boyd family, was a prominent figure in the Scottish Reformation and was a close associate of John Knox, one of the leaders of the Reformation in Scotland.
