History

Their are many theories regarding the origin of the name, one popular belief is that the name derives from the Gaelic Dail-gheal, thought to translate  "white dale". This is certainly one of the longer running explanations.




There are also some contradiction regarding the earliest recorded reference of the name, some report that records of the first reference of Dalzell in 1259 are of a Thomas de Dalzell who is said to be recorded as having fought at the legendary battle of Bannockburn.  Other report that "the first Dalzell to appear on record was one Hugo de Dalzell, Sheriff of Lanark in the time of Wallace".

It is also reported that In the Ragman's Roll, the rolls of deeds on parchment in which the Scottish nobility and gentry subscribed allegiance to Edward I. of England, A. D. 1296,  Thomas de Dalzell is mentioned, but not surprisingly perhaps, someone also reports that Thomas swapped sides to fight with Bruce at Bannockburn.

O Flower of Scotland




The unofficial national Anthem of Scotland, don't be left dumb struck at the next International, sing along !



O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again


Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again
