The name originated in the parish of Inverarity in Angus and is probably a corruption of Fotheringhay, a manor in Northamptonshire, as ancient script depicted 'ay' as similar to 'm'. The manor was held by David of Huntingdon, who later became David I of Scotland. The name of Fotheringay I possibly Hungarian in origin according to an unlikely story that the name belonged to one of the countrymen who came with retinue of Edward Atheling whose sister married Malcolm III. The name of Huwe de Fotheringeye appears in the Ragman Roll of 1296, where he, along with a number of the Scottish nobility pledge allegiance to Edward I of England. John Fotheringhame gained the lands of West Powrie, possibly through marriage to a daughter of the Ogilvies of Aughterhouse, in around 1399. Nicholas Fotheringham of Powrie tried to usurp the land of Dunbog in Glenesk from the widow of the Earl of Montrose in 1481, and died at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. Sir Alexander Fotheringham of Powrie, a faithful supporter of Charles I was captured at Alyth and sent to England in 1645, he later died in exile in 1652. His grandson David, an equestrian and horse breeder was responsible for the matriculation of the Fotheringham coat of arms at Lyon Court in 1677. Thomas Frederick Fortheringham, a captain in the Scots Fusiliers served throughout the Crimean War, and Lady Charlotte Carnegie, sister of the ninth Earl of Southesk. Their son Walter thus gained the large estates of Grandtully and Murthly in Perthshire, Murthly being a former Royal hunting estate with a fine hunting lodge, the majority of it in a neo-classical style from the seventeeth and eighteenth centuries. |
