Clan Trotter

Clan Trotter is a Scottish clan with historical roots in the Lowlands, particularly in the regions of Roxburghshire and Berwickshire. Originally descended from Border Reivers, families belonging to the clan were known for their boundary-keeping and martial skills. The Trotter name is linked to the Old English word "trot," meaning to run or move quickly, possibly describing an ancestor's agility. Today, Clan Trotter is recognized by its tartan and crest, symbolizing its heritage. While not one of the largest Scottish clans, it maintains a cultural and genealogical presence, celebrating its history through gatherings and heritage societies.
