Get accurate information about Scottish clans, family associations, and societies in this updated edition of Scottish Clans and Their Associated Families. Robert J. Heston expands on his groundbreaking work to focus on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs’ (SCSC) list of 353 clans. In addition, the author has retained the details of thirty-three Scottish families who are active in the United States and not cited in the SCSC list. When using this book, it is important to note that most Scottish clan and family organizations have clauses in their family lists stating that “variations in spelling of these names are accepted.” Therefore, this book provides the researcher the ability to look beyond an exact spelling of a name. Other books on this subject focus on a small number of clans, ancient names, and the preferred spellings of these small number of families. Some associate an individual name to a tartan, which can be problematic. With more than 12,000 names with the sources where these names were found, this work is the best source focused on identifying family surnames associated with Scottish clans, houses, and families.

Download The Clans & Tartans of Scotland Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In Clans and Tartans of Scotland you'll take a look at some of the oldest and most historic families of Scotland. Tracing back to the 19th century, the stories of Scottish clans and their heritage is expounded upon this this great volume. A Scottish clan is a kinship group among the Scottish people. Clans give a sense of shared identity and descent to members, and in modern times have an official structure recognized by the court in Scotland, which regulates Scottish heraldry and coats of arms. Most clans have their own tartan patterns, usually dating from the 19th century, which members may incorporate into kilts or other clothing. The clans are irrevocably linked to Scotland's rich and turbulent past and have left a lovely legacy of castles and stately homes, many of which are the seats of the clans today. It is a common misconception that every person who bears a clan's name has a direct bloodline to the original clan chief. This is not so. Many clansmen although not related to the chief took the chief's surname as their own to either show solidarity, to obtain basic protection, or for much needed sustenance. The Clans & Tartans of Scotland explores the fascinating heritage of over one hundred of Scotland's most famous clans and biggest families together with their illustrious and historic tartans.
