Clan Turnbull
Clan Turnbull is an armigerous Scottish clan. Origins of the name A legendary account of the ''Turnbull'' name was told by Hector Boece, in his ''History of Scotland''. Boece tells the legend that during the Wars of Scottish Independence William of Rule saved King Robert Bruce by wrestling to the ground a bull that had charged at the King. For this feat, the King rewarded William with the lands of Philiphaugh, now part of Selkirk, and dubbed him "Turnebull" (the "e" was later dropped). The story of the young man who saved the life of Robert the Bruce, called Will-o-Rull is well known; also how Robert the Bruce changed his name to Turn-E-Bull. This later evolved to the name “Turnbull“. The name of Rule is of quite ancient origin in the border counties of Scotland and in the north of England. It first appears in the fourth century when St. Regulus or St. Rule arrived on the shores of Scotland at what is now St. Andrews in Fife. Another possibility that the family may ...
