Clan Lamont
Clan Lamont () is a Highland Scottish clan. The clan is said to descend from Ánrothán Ua Néill, an Irish prince of the O'Neill dynasty. As a part of this lineage, the clan claims descent from the legendary Niall Noigíallach, High King of Ireland. Clan Ewen of Otter, Clan MacNeil of Barra, Clan MacLachlan, and Clan Sweeney are also descendants of Anrothan, and thus are distant kin to Clan Lamont. Lamont and associated kinsmen are thus descendants of Conn Cétchathach.
Clan Lamont's historical domain was a prominent one; for centuries, they powerfully ruled almost all of the rugged lands of the Cowal peninsula in Argyll. However, Clan Lamont was severely crippled by the Dunoon Massacre in 1646, when Campbell clansmen brutally murdered around 200 Lamont clan members. As a result of this and other events, Clan Lamont was repressed into smaller areas of Cowal. Many Lamonts moved to different parts of Scotland, particularly to the lowland areas. Today, Lamonts are widespread across the globe (Canada, Australia, Britain and more.)
The 26th and current chief of Clan Lamont is Rev. Fr. Peter Noel Lamont, Chief of the Name and Arms of Lamont.
==History==
The surname Lamont has several origins, but the clan's name is derived from the medieval personal name ''Lagman'' (Lawspeaker) which is from the Old Norse ''Logmaðr''.〔 The Old Norse name ''Logmaðr'' is composed to two elements: ''log'' which is plural of ''lag'' meaning "law" (from ''leggja'' meaning "to lay down") + ''maðr'' meaning "man".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lamont Name Meaning and Origin )〕
