The Clan Cameron, reputedly one of the most ancient clans in Scotland, had a fearful name for ferocity: ‘fiercer than fierceness itself’ was one of the phrases used to describe them.” Their history goes back to 1411.
“The name of the Highland Camerons apparently derives from the Gaelic cam-shron, meaning ‘crooked nose’ or ‘crooked hill’.”
