This proud and noble Scottish surname derives from the manor of Lidel in Cumberland, England.
It is first found in the records of the County ofRoxburghshire, Scotland, where one Richard de Lidel earned a land grant from the Church ofLargs in 1202. By 1350, their Clan territorywas firmly established in the Scottish WestMarches.
While their family motto remained inscrutable at the time of this writing, the Roxburghshire motto is a real grabber: "Yield not to misfortunes (evil things) but go on more boldly against them!"
