THE SOCIETY:

Membership of the Society is now open to any person having a legitimate interest in the objectives of the Society and paying the current subscription. These objectives, as laid down in the original Constitution, are as follows:

  1. The reviving, conserving and promoting of the interests, sentiments and associations of the Clan.

  2. The collecting and preserving of records and of traditions relating to the history of the Clan.

  3. The encouragement of Celtic education

  4. The assisting of Clans people in need

The Annual General Meeting of the Society is held on the last Saturday in May. The accounts are submitted for approval and adoption, rates of subscription decided, and office bearers and committee elected. In addition the objectives stated above are discussed and debated and any relevant action set in motion.

The different spellings of the name are of no significance and in former days depended on individual choice. Today it would depend on family tradition.
