Scotland's Fleming Clan volume 1

Forthcoming book - "Scotland's Fleming Clan - Volume 1: Origins"

This first of two volumes offers new insights into the family's origins that challenge long-held misconceptions. It argues that the previously-accepted founder, Robert Fleming, never existed; and that his supposed sons (Malcolm and Patrick) were not brothers. Instead, it proposes a new pedigree based on extensive evidence.

The family's origins are traced through the elevation of Malcolm Fleming of Fulwood as Earl of Wigtown; the sale of the earldom by his grandson Thomas; and the handover of assets to their cousins, the Fleming family of Biggar. A second volume will continue the family's history through to the death of the last male heir in 1747.

Forget the legends. Learn the facts!

This book would be of particular interest to anyone descended from Flemings in Scotland or those interested in the earliest history of the Scottish kingdom. It is planned for release during 2027.
