The origin of the name Grant
Grant is an ancient Scottish Highland clan surname (Clan Grant / Clann Grannd) derived from Old French grand (meaning "great," "large," or "tall"). Establishing their primary seats in Strathspey and Inverness-shire during the 13th century, Clan Grant held major medieval strongholds including Castle Grant and Urquhart Castle along Loch Ness, serving as royal sheriffs, landholders, and Highland chieftains.
The symbolism of the Grant coat of arms
Regal and bold, the Grant coat of arms features a red shield charged with three golden antique crowns. In classical heraldry, the red shield symbolises martial valour, courage, and fortitude, while the three golden crowns represent royal allegiance, sovereignty, ancestral dignity, and triple triumph across generations. Positioned above the shield, the crest displays a red lion. The formal recognition of this coat of arms was registered in the Public Register of All Arms and Bearings in Scotland (1672) for Grant of Freuchie / Castle Grant and documented in Nisbet's System of Heraldry.
