What
is a Clan? The
Gaelic word Clan means family
or tribe. Each clan
has its own tartan which
is worn in a kilt or scarf
and members are fiercely
loyal to the group. The
reason for the strength
of the Scottish clans can
be summarized in a quote
from a clansman who said, “I
owe my allegiance to the
land of my birth, but I
am first, last, and always
a…. (your Clan name).”
