Stewart of Appin History

The Appin Stewarts also known as “The Loyal Clan” are the West Highland branch of Clan Stewart. Rather than just a branch the Stewarts of Appin are considered a Clan in their own right since the 15th Century. The Chiefs of Stewart of Appin are descended from Sir James Stewart of Perston, who was the grandson of Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland. The surname ‘Stewart’ came from ‘Steward’. Sir James Stewart of Perston; Walter Stewart was the 6th High Steward of Scotland married Marjorie Bruce, the daughter of King Robert the Bruce, and their son Robert 2nd was the first Stewart Monarch. So the Stewarts of Appin are cousins to the Royal Stewart Monarchy.
