Napier History

The name of Napier has a long and ancient history, being descended from the Celtic royal families of Scotland and Ireland.

However, another, and more romantic, origin suggests that a young knight of the Earl of Lennox was honoured for his valour by William the Lion, who described him as having “nae peer”.
