Please note: The most recent
Clan Society information
is usually available in a box located on this page. If it is information
that takes up more than a few sentences in space then, in the future,
you will find a link to it published here.
--------------------
In 2008 the Society changed its basic organization from a membership society to an educational and charitable organization. Therefore, there is no membership status available, the Society collects no dues and the organization is maintained solely by donations. You may contact any member of the Board of Directors through email by clicking on the link provided at the top of this page. If you have questions you would like to pose or information that may be of interest, we will be happy to hear from you. The Society does not provide genealogical information or data as that activity is beyond our capabilities.

A bit of historical fact
The Scottish Dirk
was a favorite sidearm of the wild Highlanders for many centuries.
Descendent from the Medieval ballock knife, the dirk was excellent
both as a utility piece and as a weapon. Frequently the dirk
had a smaller knife that piggy backed in the sheath. This small
knife was used for lesser chores as well as eating.
