Thripland Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A rare surname in Scotland, derived from 'The Threipland,' a vale in the parish of Kilbucho, Peeblesshire. Robert de Threpeland of the county of Peebles rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, II, p. 207). In 1374 the lands of Threpeland were renounced to James of Douglas, the overlord, by Alicia of Threplande, daughter and heiress of Henry of Threpland (RHM., II, p. 120). The surname is found domiciled in Perthshire in the beginning of the seventeenth century, Andrew Threipland was admitted burgess of Perth in 1628, and George Threapland was a merchant there in 1711. Sir Patrick Threaplane was 'Prowest of Pearth' in 1676 (Rec. Inv., II. p. 268), John Threepland was a bookbinder in Edinburgh in 1643 (Edinb. Marr.), and John Thrippland is recorded in Spittell, 1708 (Minutes, p. 37). The Thrieplands of Fingask were a family distinguished by a passionate loyalty to the Stewarts in exile. About the beginning of the nineteenth century the laird of Fingask died without direct heir and the family possessions passed to a kinsman, Scott-Kerr, who assumed the name of the old Perthshire family.
