DescriptionThe clan traces its roots back to the 13th century in the lands of Colquhoun near Luss in Dunbartonshire. The name itself is thought to derive from the Gaelic cuil chumhann, meaning “narrow corner.” The family became prominent after Sir Robert Colquhoun married the heiress of the Lord of Luss in 1368, uniting the lands and establishing the chiefship as Colquhoun of Colquhoun and Luss.
