I have traced my ancestors back to 1748 Kirkliston West Lothian. My brother and I have been "HOME" three times. in 2000, 2006,and the Homecoming in 2009. The Clans Foundation is excellent as a information source for those that live away. My pride at being, all be it, 4th generation Australian, of Scottish descent is an honour I hold above all else. The march up the Royal Mile was magnificent and as an old friend said of the event, "If you didn't feel anything, then you didn't belong" I'll be hastening back in 2014

I recently began researching my family history. My father is British and my mother American and with the help of my British family I am learing alot about my hertitage. Patrick is a surname that originated from Lamont so naturally I stumbled upon your page and have been reading for awhile now! Thanks for all the interesting and helpful info!

I couldn't agree more with your statement, there is much more relevancy to the Clans today than people realize.The DNA project on clan lines could play a major role in linking up possible donor matches when it comes to health issues.The Clans role in Community issues is also important as more people become isolated from physical communication but indulge in the internet as we respond to a community forum to communicate our ideas and feelings.Just look at the number of sites that young people chat on.Yet the Clan has a Community of all ages, all backgrounds coming together as a family.It could prove invaluable to generations of people who for whatever reason don't have a place or family to belong to.(THOR HAVE SPOKEN TO RACHEL AT CLAN EWEN,USED TO BE BULLETIN EDITOR,PLEASE CONTACT IF YOU WANT)COLIN.

In a district mostly in Ross-shire, anciently known by the name of Ness, there was originally located a small and broken clan, known as the Macnicols. The only districts, according to Skene, which at all answers to the description of Ness, are those of Assynt, Edderachylis, and Duirness.
The Macnicols were descended from one Mackrycul (the letter r in the Gaelic being invariably pronounced like n), who, tradition says, as a reward for having rescued from some Scandinavians a great quantity of cattle carried off from Sutherland, received from one of the ancient thanes of that province, the district of Assynt, then a forest belonging to them. This Mackryeul held that part of the coast of Cogeach, which is called Ullapool. In the MS of 1450, the descent of the clan Nicail is traced in a direct line from a certain Gregall, plainly the Krycul here mentioned, who is supposed to have lived in the twelfth century. He is said to have been the ancestor, besides the Macnicols, of the Nicols and the Nicholsons. When Gregall lived, Sutherland was occupied by Gaelic tribes, and the Macnicols may therefore be considered of Gaelic origin.
The Nicolsons have been a Hebridean clan for over 700 years, the Chief taking his designation from Scorrvbreac. near Portree. in Skye. The islands of Lewis and Skye remained part of the Scandinavian kingdom of Mann (the Isle of Man) and the Isles, under the suzerainty [supremecy or sovereignty] of Norway. until 1266: and it seems likely that, like the MacLeods of Dunvegan, the Nicolsons are of high Norse descent.
