Clan Carnegie is a Lowland Scottish clan. Walter de Maule made a grant of the lands and barony of Carnegie, in the parish of Carmyllie, Angus to John de Balinhard in 1358. However, there is no certain record of the origins of the Balinhards, except that their lands were near Arbroath, Angus. Alexander Nisbet suggested that the Balinhards were related to the Ramsays, although there is no direct evidence to support this.
