The Clan Grant is one of the clans claiming to belong to Siol Alpine and to be descended from Kenneth MacAlpine, King of Scotland in the 10th century.

In the 13th century the Grants appear as Sheriffs of Inverness, and exerted considerable influence in the north-east of Scotland, and supported Wallace in his struggle. John (Grant), chief of the clan, married the daughter of Gilbert of Glencairnie, and from his elder son sprung the Grants of Freuchie, and his younger son was progenitor of the Tullochgorm branch of the clan. From John Grant of Freuchie are descended the Earls of Seafield, the Grants of Corrimony, and the Grants of Glenmoriston.

The Grants were consistently Royalists, and took part in the notable battle on the Haughs of Cromdale which gave its name to the pipe tune made famous by being played by Piper Findlater of the Gordon Highlands at the Battle of Dargai, in 1897.

In the Jacobite Risings the clan supported the Hanoverian side, but the Grants of Glenmoriston supported the Jacobite cause.

Ludovic Grant, 8th of Freuchie, married for his second wife Lady Margaret Ogilvie, daughter of the Earl of Findlater and Seafield, and his grandson succeeded to the Seafield peerage. The 8th Earl died without issue and the titles passed to his uncle, James, 9th Earl of Seafield. The 11th Earl of Seafield was killed in the First World War and the Scottish titles passed to his only child, Nina, Countess of Seafield.
