Tour Scotland photograph of the Reverend Samuel George Kennedy gravestone in Greyfriars Cemetery in Perth, Scotland. A local Minister who died on 30th December 1835.

The first recorded Scottish name bearer appears to be Gilbert Mac Kenedi who witnessed a charter in Melrose around 1165. The Scottish Kennedy's are by remote origin Irish Gaels. In 1296 one, Alexander Kennedy was canon of Glasgow. Duncan Kennedy, provost of Aberdeen in 1321 was the first recorded of the name in the north east. The Kennedy's held the lands of Kermuck, Aberdeenshire, for generations.
