Early Origins of the Strathy family

The surname Strathy was first found in Aberdeenshire, where they held a family seat in their territories. The Pictish influence on Scottish history diminished after Kenneth Macalpine became King of all Scotland.

Allegiances were important to Scottish middle age survival. Later they held a family seat at Pershire.
