This is one of our oldest Scottish families and takes its name from the lands of Dundas in West Lothian where they were settled probably in the early 12th century. Sir Hugh Dundas supported Sir William Wallace during the Patriot's campaign against the English. His son, Sir George, aided Robert the Bruce. The island of Inchgarvie was given to the 13th chief by King James IV. The Dundasses of Fingask descended from a half brother of the 12th laird and from them sprung the family of Kerse. Dundas of Arnistonn was a Lord of Session in 1662. This family achieved legal eminence and several of them were judges.
