Originally from Normandy, the Menzies family would eventually come north to Scotland and settle in the Highlands, particularly in Perthshire.
The clan have had numerous castles in their possession. However, the most important were Comrie Castle (the first clan seat) and Castle Menzies (the most well-known seat of the clan).
Today, the chief of clan Menzies is David Ronald Steuart Menzies of that Ilk.
