For centuries, Clan Young upheld a proud and trusted Lowland name—scholars at universities, courtiers at Holyrood, and steady hands in Scotland’s royal service. Their saga is one of learning, duty, and quiet strength, rooted in Roxburgh’s rolling Border country and echoed in the cobbled closes of Edinburgh. Guided always by the creed “Robore Prudentia Praestat” — Prudence Excels Strength —they proved that clear minds can shape kingdoms as surely as keen blades. Inside this richly illustrated booklet you’ll discover — Youngs of Auldbar & Beyond Early charters in Angus and Roxburghshire, lairds who stewarded fertile acres, and gifted sons who rose from grammar schools to the royal counting-house. - Motto & Mindset How the maxim Prudence Excels Strength forged generations renowned for measured counsel—balancing bold deeds with thoughtful strategy in court, kirk, and council. - Letters, Land & Law Poets who traded verse with the Stewarts, advocates who helped frame Scotland’s post-Union statutes, and surveyors whose meticulous maps still guide shepherds across the Cheviot hills. - Castles, Manors & Heartlands Explore the ivy-hung ruins of Auldbar, walk the terraced gardens of Harburn, and visit Roxburgh kirk where stone effigies of young scholars keep silent watch. - Symbols of Pride The golden lion’s head crest, deep blue-and-green tartan laced with silver, and worldwide clan gatherings that keep Young fellowship vibrant from the Borders to Brisbane. Whether you bear the name, seek Lowland roots, or simply relish tales of loyalty, intellect, and unyielding grace, this insightfully researched, vividly told booklet opens the realm of Clan Young —faithful, thoughtful, and proudly prudent through every age.
