SCRYMGEOUR
The name of Scrymgeour is said to have been first conferred upon Alexander Carron , one of the bed chamber men of King Alexander I . more than eight hundred years ago . This worthy is reported to have borne the King’s standard across the Spey, and planted it there i n front of a rebel army , a daring act which so stimulated the King’s host that they followed the royal standard and discomfited the rebel force . For the gallant feat the King constituted Carron a n d his heirs heritable standard-bearers of Scotland , made him a grant of lands , and bestowed on him the name Scrymgeour, which signifies hardy fighter .
