- Description:
- Postcard (color, divided back, 3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) titled Scotland Showing the Location of the Grahams – The card features the Arms (badge), Tartan, and location in Scotland of the Clan Grahams. - Clan Graham (Greumaich nan Ceart [ˈkɾʲeːmɪç nəŋʲ ˈkʲaRʃd]) is a Scottish clan who had territories in both the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands. There is a tradition that the first Graham was one Greme who broke the Roman Antonine Wall driving the Roman legions out of Scotland. However the likely origin is that the chiefs of Clan Graham were of Anglo-Norman origin. The Manor of Gregham is recorded in William the Conqueror's Domesday Book. When David I claimed the throne of Scotland, Graham was one of the knights who accompanied him. Sir William de Graham was present at the erection of Holyrood Abbey, witnessing its foundation charter. No descriptive text on the reverse. Postage required: Inland ½d. Foreign 1d. Card number: Series 201/6 *Note: W & AK Johnson produced many postcards. This partnership was originally a printing business from 1825, run by the printer William Johnston and the Queen's Geographer, Alex Keith Johnston. William Johnston was a noted cartographer.
