Spotted: Oliphant in the Wild

After watching the recent Scotland History Tours video by Bruce Fummey (with Roddy Oliphant ) about the tomb and effigy of Sir William Oliphant of Aberdalgie at Aberdalgie & Dupplin Church, Texas honeymooners Erin Hamlett (née Oliphint) and Ian Hamlett contacted Rev. Allan Wilson who invited them to this morning’s service. They were welcomed by elders Ron & Catriona Harrison and the rest of the congregation. It’s sure to be a honeymoon memory they’ll never forget! AberdalgieForteviot

Our Chief, Richard, sent this. It discusses the Oliphant surname (amongst other). The clan map is not as good as one produced decades before, as it fails to show the places where the Oliphants had their real set of power for centuries, in Lower Strathearn, calling it the territory of another clan (who have never owned those estates). The same applies in Fife at Kellie.

Oliphant in the News: San Diego, CA
