Muirhead family roots go back to ancient times, when the Scottish clan was in the service of King James IV. In 1513 at Brenkston Moore on Flodden Field was one of the disastrous battles between the English and the Scots, which killed more than a thousand Scots, including Lord Clan - John Muirhead and King James IV. Translated from the Gaelic surname Muirhead means "the highest point of Moore" ("Highest Point of the Moor") or "master Moore" (Head of the Moor "").
