.png "Hay (Cadet of Pitfour) Coat of Arms")
The surname "Hay" has a long and fascinating history, particularly within the context of the Cadet of Pitfour branch. The Hay family originated from Normandy and settled in Scotland during the 12th century. They quickly rose in prominence and became one of the most powerful noble families in the country. The Cadet of Pitfour branch was a distinguished lineage within the Hay family, known for their Irish connections.
The Irish connection comes from the marriage of George Hay, the 7th Earl of Kinnoull, to the Irish heiress Mary Drummond. Through this marriage, the Hays acquired vast estates in Ireland, including the lands of Drummond. The Cadet of Pitfour branch was a direct descendant of this union, and they proudly bore the additional surname of "Cadet of Pitfour" to honor their ancestral ties.
The Cadet of Pitfour branch played a significant role in Irish history. They were known for their strong support of the Jacobite cause, which sought to restore the exiled Stuart dynasty to the British throne. They actively participated in Jacobite uprisings and fought in several battles alongside their Irish allies. However, their allegiance to the Jacobite cause ultimately led to their downfall. After the defeat of the Jacobites in the 18th century, the Cadet of Pitfour branch faced harsh penalties and had their estates confiscated.
Despite the loss of their lands and titles, the Cadet of Pitfour branch managed to preserve their lineage and maintain their distinct surname. Today, descendants of this branch can still be found, proudly carrying the surname "Hay (Cadet of Pitfour)" and celebrating their Irish heritage.
