3 Celts & Company • "HOME"

The name, properly pronounced HUME and frequently so spelt, comes from the lands in Berwickshire acquired in marriage by a 13th-century descendant of the Northumbrian earl Gospatrick, ancestor also of the Dunbars. By further marriages the Homes extended widely over the east Borderland, and took full share in its wars and forays. David Hume (1711-76), philosopher-historian and indirect inspirer of many efforts to bring logic into practical history, also John Home, minister unfrocked for producing his poetic drama DOUGLAS in 1756, might both claim family predecessors: Lord Kames the lawyer-philosopher and Lady Grizel Baillie the balladist were likewise born of the clan sometimes named 'the Haughty Homes.'
