clan associations

[Graham A. Robieson]

I voted "I don't have a clan, I just love kilts" The Irish don't have clans, we have gangs!
My wife is a member of her Clan's associations, and I am a member of two Irish heritage groups.

The Irish do have clans but they are called septs...sept is the Irish word for clan...in Scotland Clan Septs are clans within a clan e.g. allied families through blood, marriage or tennancy etc.


All the best,


Graham


Another note: In regards to an association I have not joined any, my family history leads to Clan Robertson (Donnachaidh), Clan Buchanan, Clan Cameron and Clan Cooper as far as my research has gone at the moment.
