Baird Clan Tattoos - The coat of arms of this family proclaim the legend of its origin which, like so many, involve a feat of strength which saves the life of a king. This version states that the first Baird saved William the Lion from a wild boar. The name appears to be territorial, from lands held in Lanarkshire near the village if Biggar. Henry Debard witnessed a deed by Thomas De Hay between 1202 and 1228. Richard Baird received land at Meikle and Little Kyp in Lanarkshire, during the reign of Alexander III. Anderson states that Fergus Debard, John Bard and Robert Bard, who swore submission to Edward I of England at the end of the 13th century, are supposed to be of the family of Baird of Kyp. The principal family of the name came to be that holding the lands of Auchmedden in Aberdeenshire, whose influence in that county was strengthened by marriage into the powerful Keith family, Earls Marischal of Scotland.

James Baird, a younger son of the house of Auchmedden, became an advocate in Edinburgh and his son, John, was created a baronet and then a High Court judge under the title of 'Lord Newbyth'. His splendid house of Newbyth in East Lothian still stands.

Clan Baird Motto: Dominus fecit ~ From Latin: The Lord made
