Families covered: Fleming of Biggar, Fleming of Boghall, Fleming of Bord, Fleming of Cumbernauld, Fleming of Wigtown
| TSP (Wigtown) reports Sir Robert Douglas as identifying Baldwin, a Fleming, as the first to come to Scotland, by 1150, and that he and his son Waldeve along with William and Sir Malcolm were ancestors of the following Sir Robert who is the first proven ancestor of this family. Some believe that this family derived from Anselm le Fleming but we have seen nothing to support that view. | |||||||||||||||
