The story of the Oliphant Clan of Scotland is a proud and distinguished one. From Scotland's famous battle that reaffirmed their independence in 1314 at Bannockburn, to her final defeat in 1746 at Culloden, the Oliphant Clan has played a role. Oliphants have held important positions and have made substantial accomplishments throughout Scotland's history. Perhaps the most famous clansman is Sir William Oliphant of Aberdalgie, the gallant knight who defended Stirling Castle against the English, after most Scottish positions had been overrun. He was a signatory to the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320, which reaffirmed Scotlands independence. Read the Declaration of Arbroath in Latin, or in the English translation.
