Origins of the name Carmichael
In the Seventeenth century the earliest family residents of the Carmichael Estate were thought to be from Normandy near Mont St Michel and to have arrived in Scotland towards the end of the Eleventh century. However the name Carmichael is universally accepted as from a geographical source being the combination of the “caer” from the hill fort and the “Michael” from the church dedicated to the Archangel and established in the centre of the current Estate on kirk hill by Queen Margaret in the year 1058. This “llanmichel” was one of the first six churches in the See of Glasgow and heralded the arrival of Christianity in central Scotland.
