How it all started

Territories

Clan Armstrong was one of the most powerful Border Reiver families, centered in Liddesdale in the Scottish Borders. They gained influence during the 14th and 15th centuries, known for their riding, raiding, and martial prowess. Their strength once rivaled the Scottish Crown, leading to crackdowns on the clan’s power. Despite loss of territory, the Armstrong name endures as a symbol of Border tenacity and independence.

Clan Chief

Clan Armstrong is armigerous and has no recognized chief. The crest shows a strong arm in armor holding a sword, and the motto “Invictus maneo” (I remain unvanquished) represents their undying spirit. Armstrongs worldwide continue to celebrate their unique Border heritage.

Though not all branches maintained grand castles, the family presence shaped the development of surrounding territories. In many cases, remnants of towers, fortified houses, or clan seats still echo their legacy today.
