Boyd
Clan Boyd of south‑west Scotland may take their name from Gaelic buidhe (“fair”) or from the Isle of Bute (Bhòid). Sir Robert Boyd fought for Bruce at Bannockburn (1314) and received Kilmarnock, where Dean Castle still stands. The family rose to become regents and earls, but a rapid fall came in 1469: Lord Boyd fled to England; his brother was executed. Restored under Queen Mary, a Boyd fought at Langside (1568). The fourth Earl of Kilmarnock was beheaded after Culloden (1746). The titles were forfeit but later revived. In 1941, a descendant resumed the Boyd name and barony. Boyds are now found across the globe.
