Question: Where does the surname Erskine originate from?

Answer: Erskine is a surname from Scotland. The name is taken from a place name (Erskine) on the southern bank of the River Clyde near Glasgow. Erskin was the name given to this location for the first time in 1225. Yrskin (1227), Ireskin (1262), Harskin (1300), and Irschen are all early spellings of the location (1300). He founded Erskine Clan Tartan. Arascain is the Scottish Gaelic version of the surname.

According to legend, King Malcolm II gave the name to a warrior who killed the Danish General Enrique in the Battle of Murthill. He is believed to have showed the king the bleeding knife and shouted eris-skyne, which means "upon the knife." In recognition of his valour, the King bestowed the surname Eriskine upon him.

This conventional mediaeval Scottish stronghold in Clackmannanshire dates back to the 14th century and was the ancestral residence of the Erskine family, Earls of Mar and Kellie. Mary Queen of Scots and her son, James VI, were both loyal followers of the Stuart rulers and were raised here by the Erkine family. The tower was strategically placed to guard the ferry crossing on the River Forth.

In 1702 John Erskine, 6th Earl of Mar, began converting the mediaeval walls into a sumptuous residence, but a fire destroyed the palace in 1800, leaving just the tower. The Tower is now administered by the National Trust for Scotland, and it houses a collection of Erskine family pictures.
