Clan Duff originated from the Royal Scoto-Pictish line, of which Queen Gruoch stood as its senior representative.  She and her second husband, MacBeth, would be immortalised by William Shakespeare in literature.  Her son succeeded the throne but was murdered in 1058, whereby Malcolm Canmore won the throne. His son Aedh, married Margaret of Moray, the granddaughter of Owen Gruoch, and became both the Earl of Fife and the Abbott of Abernethy (the ancient Pictish capital).
