The Broun Clan, also spelled Brown, is a Scottish clan with a long and distinguished history. The name “Broun” is derived from the Old English word “br?n,” meaning “brown,” and it is believed that the clan’s ancestors settled in Scotland from England during the medieval period. The Broun Clan’s origins can be traced back to Sir David de Brun, who lived in the 13th century. Over time, the clan gained prominence and its members held significant positions of power and influence. Notable figures include Sir Patrick Broun, who served as Lord Chancellor of Scotland in the 15th century, and Sir George Mackenzie Broun, a renowned legal scholar and writer. The Brouns were active participants in Scottish history and were involved in various conflicts and political events. They supported the Stewart monarchs and fought alongside other clans in battles such as the Battle of Flodden in 1513.
