Early Origins of the Banach family

The surname Banach was first found in Stirlingshire at Bannockburn, a quoad sacra parish, including the village of Bannockburn, in the parish of St. Ninian's. "The small river Bannock, running on the western border, gives name to this place, which is celebrated in history as the scene of the decisive battle between Robert Bruce and Edward II., when the Scots obtained a signal victory, Edward and the English being completely routed; and about a mile from the village, on the 11th of June, 1488, was fought the field of Stirling, or battle of Sauchie, between James III. and the confederate lords, wherein that monarch lost the field and his life." 1

Later they held a family seat at Culross.
