Wishart History
The surname Wishart is the same as the old French name Guischard which derives from the old French word Wischard, meaning ‘prudent’, ‘wise’.
Around the start of the 13th century, a grant of the mill teind to Cambuskenneth Abbey was witnessed by William Wischard.
In 1245 John Wischard was recorded as having been a witness, and nine years later, in 1254, he is in the records again, this time having been present at the preambulation of the bounds of Conon and Tulloch.
