SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Ramsay
"Clan Ramsay is a Scottish clan of Anglo-Norman origin that hasexisted since the 11th century. The name Ramsay is not necessarily ofGaelic origin for in Old Norse the name may translate from hraems-eg(or hrafns-eyr), which means "Ravens' Isle".
Origins
A ram in the sea is said to have been an emblem on the seal of RamsayAbbey in Huntingdon in the 11th century. When David, Earl ofHuntingdon, travelled north to claim his kingdom of Scotland in 1124,he was accompanied by many young Norman noblemen keen to share intheir overlord?s heritage. These may have included Sir Symon deRamesie who received a grant of land in Midlothian from David and whowitnessed several important charters, including one to the monks ofHolyrood in 1140.
[edit] Branches of the clan
The de Ramesie family prospered, and by the 13th century there werefive, or even six, major branches: Dalhousie (Midlothian),Auchterhouse (Angus, aka Forfarshire), Bamff (Perthshire), Forthar(Fife), Clatto (Fife) and, probably, Colluthie (Fife). Peter deRamsay, son of Nessus de Ramsay of Forthar, was appointed Bishop ofAberdeen in 1247 and, before his death in 1256, like William de Ramsayof Dalhousie, he was a member of the king?s council in 1255 during theminority of Alexander III of Scotland. William's son, or perhaps hisgrandson, also called William, appears on the Ragman Roll, swearingfealty to Edward I of England in 1296 as Ramsay de Dalwolsy, alongwith ten other Ramsay lairds from Angus, Fife, Midlothian and theborders.
14th century and Wars of Scottish Independence
Dalhousie later declared for King Robert the Bruce, becoming one ofthe signatories to the open letter to the pope, now known as theDeclaration of Arbroath, which declared Scotland?s independence in1320. He had at least two sons, William and Alexander. Alexander was arenowned knight, and for his many services he was made Sheriff ofTeviotdale in 1342. This aroused the jealousy of the Clan Douglas, whoclaimed the office as their own. Sir William Douglas of Liddesdalefell upon Alexander with a strong force of men and imprisoned him inHermitage Castle, where he starved to death. Alexander?s brother,William, also endured captivity when he was captured at the Battle ofNeville's Cross in 1346. The English were apparently kinder jailersthan the Douglases, as William lived to tell the tale.
Sir John Ramsay of Auchterhouse fought in William Wallace's campaign(1297-1303) and with Edward Bruce during the Scottish conquest ofIreland (1317). Sir William Ramsay of Colluthie, who was captured bythe English both at Battle of Neville's Cross (1346) and when hefought for the French at Poitiers (1356), was created Earl of Fife in1358 by King David II.
In 1400, Sir Alexander Ramsay held Dalhousie Castle in Midlothianagainst a siege by Henry IV of England, and resisted so resolutelythat the English were forced to withdraw.
16th century and Anglo-Scottish Wars
During the Anglo-Scottish Wars Sir Alexander's descendant andnamesake, Alexander Ramsay, was killed at the Battle of Flodden Fieldin 1513, when Dalhousie passed to his son, Nicolas, who was to be astaunch supporter of Mary, Queen of Scots. After Mary?s final defeatthe Ramsays acknowledged her son as James VI. They were later to behandsomely rewarded for saving that monarch?s life. In 1600, JohnRamsay, one of Nicolas?s great-grandsons, killed the Earl of Gowrieand his brother, Alexander Ruthven, who were apparently attempting tokidnap the king in what became known as the Gowrie Conspiracy whichwas led by the Clan Ruthven.
17th century and Civil War
Alexander Ramsey commanded the Scottish forces at the Battle ofKringen in 1612.
John was created Earl of Holderness and Viscount Haddington by agrateful king. George Ramsay, the new earl?s eldest brother, alsoattained high rank when he was created Lord Ramsay in 1618. Ramsay?seldest son, William, opposed the religious policies of Charles I ofEngland, Scotland and Ireland and raised a cavalry regiment forParliament. He fought at the Battle of Marston Moor, and was part ofGeneral David Leslie's force which surprised James Graham, 1stMarquess of Montrose at the Battle of Philiphaugh in 1645. He had beencreated Earl of Dalhousie in 1633.
[edit] 18th to 19th centuries
The Ramsays were thereafter to continue in military and public servicedown to the present day. They served in all the great campaigns of the18th and 19th centuries on the continent, in Canada, and in India. The9th Earl of Dalhousie was Governor General of British North Americafrom 1819 to 1828, and commander-in-chief of India from 1829 to 1832.His son, James Broun-Ramsay also served as Governor General of Indiafrom 1847 to 1856, during a period of great expansion of Britishinterest on the sub-continent. He was created Marquess of Dalhousie in1849, but this title died with him in 1860, although the older earldompassed to a cousin from whom the present Earl descends.
Many other branches of the family have also produced persons ofdistinction and rank. Admiral the Honourable Sir Alexander Ramsay, theyounger son of the 14th Earl of Dalhousie, married Her Royal HighnessPrincess Victoria of Connaught, granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Theirson, the late Captain Alexander Ramsay of Mar (Aberdeenshire), and hiswife, the Lady Saltoun, chief of the Frasers, are, by the Queen?spersonal wish, members of the royal family. Sir Gilbert Ramsay ofBamff, descended from Neis de Ramsay, physician to Alexander II ofScotland around 1232, was created a Baronet of Nova Scotia in 1666.Sir John Ramsay of Balmain (Kincardineshire), who was created LordBothwell in 1485, forfeited that title for treason in 1488 and it waslater granted to the Hepburns; the Balmain Ramsays restored theirfortunes by being created baronets, first in 1625 and again in 1806.
Fighting was not the only talent of this family. Andrew Ramsay, betterknown as the Chevalier de Ramsay, left Scotland for France in 1708.His academic excellence was soon recognized, and he became mentor tothe Prince de Turenne. The King of France appointed him a Knight ofthe Order of Saint Lazarus, and for a time he was tutor to both theJacobite princes, Charles Edward Stuart and Henry Benedict Stuart.Allan Ramsay, the great 18th century poet, and his son, thedistinguished portrait painter, were descended from the Clan Lairds ofCockpen, cadets of the chiefly house. In 1972, Dalhousie Castle wasconverted to a hotel, and the clan seat became Brechin Castle inAngus.
2003 ? Dalhousie Castle in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, was sold to VonEssen Hotels.

1280 ? Ramsay Dalhousie (Ramsay de Dalwolsey) built the inner Keepwith Vaults and the bottle dungeon.
1140?1280 ? The Ramsays acquired large estates by marriage to theheiress of the Maules, Norman mercenaries who were employed by KingDavid and thus secured royal grants of land in Midlothian and theCarse of Gowrie.
1140 ? Simon Ramsay (Simundus de Ramseia), a French nobleman underKing David, was the first to land at Dalhousie. The Ramsays becamenotorious border raiders and for-hire cutthroats.
1090 ? The Viking and/or his son joined King Malcolm III of Scotland,and survived by robbing the natives.
1066 ? A German Viking, the progenitor of the Ramsay clan, sailed withDuke William II to England, and fought alongside Norman troops at theBattle of Hastings. The Ramsay Black Eagle battle emblem was produced.
The Ramsays of Dalhousie (or Dalwolsie) in Midlothian were a branch ofthe main line of Scottish Clan Ramsay of whom the earliest known isSimon de Ramsay, of Huntingdon, England, mentioned in 1140 as thegrantee of lands in West Lothian at the hands of David I. A SirWilliam de Ramsay of Dalhousie swore fealty to Edward I in 1296, butis famous for having in 1320 signed the letter to the pope assertingthe independence of Scotland; and his supposed son, Sir AlexanderRamsay (d. 1342), was the Scottish patriot and capturer of RoxburghCastle (1342), who, having been made warder of the castle and sheriffof Teviotdale by David II, was soon afterwards carried off and starvedto death by his predecessor, the Douglas, in revenge. Sir John Ramsayof Dalhousie (1580-1626), James VI's favorite, is famous for rescuingthe king in the Gowrie conspiracy, and was created (1606) ViscountHaddington and Lord Ramsay of Barns (subsequently baron of Kingstonand earl of Holderness in England). The barony of Ramsay of Melrosewas granted in 1618 to his brother George Ramsay of Dalhousie (d.1629), whose son William Ramsay (d. 1674) was made 1st earl ofDalhousie in 1633."
