Old photograph of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman in Belmont Castle, Meigle, Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle was built on the site of an early 15th century castle which was a residence of the Bishops of Dunkeld. The castle was the residence of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, born 1836, died 1908, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1905 to 1908. He is buried in the village churchyard. The surname Bannerman was first found in Aberdeenshire, Gaelic: Siorrachd Obar Dheathain, a historic county, and present day Council Area of Aberdeen, located in the Grampian region of northeastern Scotland, where they held a family seat at Clyntreys. The first of the name on record is Donald Bannerman, King's Physician to King David II of Scotland in the year 1368, although traditionally the family claim that their progenitor was Standard Bearer to Malcolm Canmore in Scotland about the year 1070.
