Old Photograph Gordon Street Huntly Scotland
Old photograph of shops, buildings and people on Gordon Street in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The surname with spellings of Gordon, Gorden and Gourdon, is of locational origins. It is Scottish from Gordon in Berwickshire. Sir Adam de Gordon, died 1333, was Justiciar of Scotland from 1310 to 1314. He obtained the Lordship of Strathbogie, which he named Huntly in 1315. Branches of his family have since held the titles of Lord of Strathbogie, Duke of Gordon and Earl and Marquess of Huntly. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Richer de Gordun. This was dated 1154, in the Records of St. Michael's Church in Kelso in the Scottish Borders.
