Clan Kinninmont

In the years between 1189 and 1199, Odo, seneschal to the Bishop of St Andrews, received a charter for these lands from William I of Scotland.

The publication also states that John's "original deed of consent, executed at the same time, and before the same witnesses with the charter of his father, is still extanct; and on his seal we find the family name for the first time: S’Iohannis de Kinimmund".

[3] James Kynimond of that Ilk asserted his hereditary right to the offices of baillie, steward and marischal of St Andrews, in 1438.

[1][4] The crest badge suitable for members of the clan is derived from the arms of Kinninmont of that Ilk.

The crest is blazoned as an oak tree Vert and the motto is STABO, meaning "i shall stand".
