Clan adoption

Sorry if I came across as a bit cynical but I don't wish to denigrate anyone's harmless enjoyment in joining a clan society. I think there still are a few genuine clans although how active they are I'm afraid I can't tell as I have no interest in that direction but maybe others can tell you. My impression, though, is that many are fairly recent in origin and mostly based in North America and, while they do have members in other countries, tend to be mainly America-centric in their activities, get-togethers etc.

Well...not really. You will find clan societies across the globe. Besides the US, you will find them in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. To imply that they are all "America-centric" just isn't correct, especially since a number of Chiefs live in Commonwealth countries and in the US. A number of clan societies will have international gatherings in Scotland.

Again, Phil, instead of being so down on us Yanks, why don't you get to know us first?Sure, there are plenty in the Braveheart/Brigadoon crowd, but there are also quite a few of us that do make a honest & sincere effort to honor our heritage.
