And now they had tasted exile, dispossession, and absolute impoverishment. The family of Lady Nairne, the Oliphants, were amongst the most ancient in Scotland. Their possessions ranged over several counties, from far remote northern Caithness to the Lothians. The first of them whose name is quoted by history, saved the life of King David of Scotland, at the siege of Winchester in 1142. They gave liberally of their possessions to the great monasteries on Tweedside. One of them was Justiciary of ...Lothian, and through his marriage to a daughter of the Earl of Stathearn about the year 1200, the Oliphants entered Perthshire. Again, when Scotland lay groaning under Edward I. , and all were in despair of her ancient liberties, it was an Oliphant who kept the rampant lion flying on Stirling Castle, and with it kept alive the hopes of his country. The son of this brave man married a daughter of King Robert the Bruce. Their lands of Gask were erected into a barony in 1364. A peerage was given to the family in 1468.
