[5] Sir William de Graham was present at the erection of Holyrood Abbey, witnessing its foundation charter.
[7] The grave of Sir John de Graham in Falkirk churchyard is still to be seen, with table stones of three successive periods above it.
[7] One great two-handed sword of Sir John the Graham is preserved at Buchanan Castle by the Duke of Montrose.
[7] The Clan Graham also fought against the English at the Battle of Durham in 1346, in support of King David II of Scots.
[7] The battle was fought on 11 June 1488, at the side of Sauchie Burn, a brook about two miles south of Stirling, Scotland.
[7] One of the most notable chiefs of the Clan Graham was James, Marquis of Montrose, a poet, but above all, the most distinguished royalist soldier of his time.
[18] After several years of continuous victories, Montrose was finally defeated at the Battle of Philiphaugh on 13 September 1645 by the Covenanter army of David Leslie, Lord Newark,[5][19] restoring the power of the Committee of Estates.
The Viscount of Dundee led a small Government Troop of Cavalry which was surprised and defeated at the Battle of Drumclog in 1679 by an overwhelming force of rebel Covenanters (estimates suggest Graham was outnumbered by about 4–1).
[26] Since 1992, the chief of the family has been James, Duke of Montrose, Marquis of Graham and Buchanan, Earl of Kincardine, Viscount of Dundaff, Lord of Mugdock, Aberuthven and Fintrie, Baronet of Braco.
