Boldly carrying the mighty family motto of "Grace me guide!" down through the withering mists of time, the proud Scottish surname of Forbes originated with the ancient people called the Picts- some say prior to 1000 A.D.- in what has come to be Aberdeenshire in northeastern Scotland. Legend has it that Oconochar, founder of the Clan, slew a bear in order to secure residency there.
