A name strongly identified from at least the mid-twelfth century with the Lanarkshire area of Lowland Scotland, ‘Weir’ features prominently in the record of the nation’s frequently turbulent history.
Some of the name were to be found on the battlefield, while others were pioneering entrepreneurs whose legacy survives to this day.
Two particular enterprising brothers of the name were James Weir, born in 1841, and his younger brother George.
