Clan Carnegie's origins trace back to the 12th century, with the first notable figure being John de Balinhard who received lands in the area of Carnegie, Angus. The clan name is derived from these lands. Over the centuries, the Carnegies rose to prominence, particularly during the reigns of the Stuart monarchs.
The Carnegies were staunch supporters of the Royalist cause during the Scottish Civil Wars. Their loyalty to the Crown was rewarded with titles, including the Earldom of Southesk and Northesk. The clan's influence extended into political, military, and economic spheres throughout Scottish history.
