Clan Wemyss is a Lowland Scottish clan. The name is associated with the caves of Wemyss in Fife, and Wemyss Castle has served as the chief seat since the 12th century.
Records note involvement in major periods of Scottish history, including the Wars of Scottish Independence and later Jacobite-era events. The clan motto is Je pense (“I think”).
The surname Wemyss is derived from the Scottish Gaelic uaimh which means cave. It is believed to be taken from the caves of the Wemyss, Fife, by the Firth of Forth, where the Wemyss family made their home.
Wemyss Castle in Fife has been the seat of the chiefs of Clan Wemyss since the twelfth century. The chiefs are one of the few noble families who are descended from the Celtic nobility through the Clan MacDuff Earls of Fife.
