Andrew Durie of Durie

Chief of the Name and Arms of Durie

The Duries are an old and honourable Scottish family. We trace our ancestry back at least as far as the 1200s when the name originated from the land of Durie. The main branches of the family have resided in Fife and the Edinburgh area ever since. 

But Duries have also become widely dispersed over the years. There are branches in Europe (some named Dury, Durrie, Duryea or DuRy) and many in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the West Indies and elsewhere.

Even in the UK there are distinct groups in the North East, the West Country and in London, apart from the stay-at-homes in the East of Scotland.

This web site is part of a larger project to record as fully as possible the genealogy of the Durie family, to document the various migrations and movements that led us to live all over the world, and to hold an archive of all Durie documents. 

This site is organised in three main areas.

	Information about the Durie Family, plus general interest information on Scottish History, including help on aspects of Scots heraldry. Plus, there is a site map, a contact form and other utilities.
