Moffat: The Origins of the Moffats and Their Place in History

by Iain Gray

With roots firmly embedded in the ancient soil of the Scottish Borders, the Moffats found themselves at the very forefront of Scotland's long and bloody struggle with its English neighbour during the Wars of Independence. When not battling the common foe, the Moffats, with their motto of 'I hope for better things', also gained a fearsome reputation as notorious reivers, or raiders, and were frequently punished for their lawlessness. Here is recounted the high drama of the lives and times of the Moffats. This little book contains, where available, the clan motto, crest and tartan, in addition to the history of the name.
