Clan Fenton

the arms of Fenton of that Ilk are blazoned as: Gules, a bend engrailed Argent.

Sir William Fenton, who was styled "Lord of Beaufort" was one of the auditors that gathered at Berwick debating the competing claims between Robert the Bruce and John de Balliol.

The principal line of the Lowland Fentons ended in the marriage between an heiress and Whitelaw of that Ilk.

[1] The family originated at Fenton near Dirleton but by the mid 13th century had made their demesne at the castle of Baikie on an island between two small lochs in the parish of Airlie in Angus.

Through marriage about 1275 they gained lands near Inverness at Beaufort, which title they used in contracts in that area.
