Abercrombie Clan Crest printed on this beautiful 15oz ceramic mug.

The surname Abercrombie was first found in the county of Fifeshire (Gaelic: Fìobh), in southeastern Scotland; an ancient Pictish kingdom, known as Fib, and still commonly known as the Kingdom of Fife. Arguably, the first mention of the Clan was in the Ulster Chronicle as one of the clans that King Malcolm Ceanmore took north to quell the claims of MacBeth for the throne of Scotland in 1057. Today, Abercrombie, or St. Monan’s, is a parish, in the district of St. Andrew’s.

One of the first records of the family was “William de Abercromby of the county of Fife did homage [to King Edward I of England] in 1296. His seal bears a boar’s head and neck on a wreath, star in base and crescent above, and S’ Will’s de Ab’crumbi.”

Also recorded as “William de Haberchrumbi, he was juror on an inquest in the same year which found that Emma la Suchis died seized in demesne in Fife. Johan de Abercromby of the same county also rendered homage in the same year, and in 1305 served on an inquest made at the town of St. John of Perth.”
