Clan Forbes is one of the oldest and most distinguished families in the north-east of Scotland, their name and identity rooted in Aberdeenshire and the landscape of the Don valley and its surrounding uplands. The surname is territorial in origin, derived from the lands of Forbes in Aberdeenshire, and the place name itself is generally believed to preserve ancient Gaelic or Pictish elements, though its precise etymology remains a subject of discussion among scholars.
