New ScotClans Site Live!

After years of sweat, tears and a whole lot of hard work, we can now ecstatically announce that the new and very much improved ScotClans website is live and ready to go!

Above and beyond the excellent shop, jammed full of all the best Clan, tartan and genuine Scottish goods, we have added a whole host of new features that make this site the best Clan resource to be found on the internet. Today we would like to take a minute to show you some of these great features we are so proud of...

***
Ancestry

Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry!

We now have a whole section dedicated to tracing your ancestry, with a vast amount of information on the best way to go about finding out more on your Scottish lineage. Including great sections on Genealogy & DNA, Scottish Heraldry, Ancestral Lands and the best resources for your own research. This new section is a dream come true for all the budding researchers out there.

The prominent Scottish historian and genealogist Dr Bruce Durie has even put together some advice on tracing your Scottish roots, and he's definitely a man who knows what he is talking about.

Also added to this section is a great amount of information on visiting your ancestral homeland, taking ancestral tours and attending Highland games. We all know you want to come and visit Scotland, hopefully this section will make it even more of a valuable experience!

Clans

Over 400 Clan Pages!

We were already very proud of the Clan pages we worked so hard on for the old website, and have transferred the library of information across, but have also been working hard to include every Clan we possibly can to our extensive database.

Each individual Clan page features a plethora of fantastic information, including(but not limited to) their various tartans, crests, motto, lands & places, galleries and associated names as well as links to Clan society pages and our very own Tartan Footprint.

You'll also find every Clan has their very own personalised Clan Shop, an area which will refine the items we have available down to everything associated with your Clan. Perfect for decking yourself out with only the very best in Clan items!

Clan-Search

Search over 3,500 surnames!

If you want to find out which Clan you belong to, our 'What's My Clan?' search will come in incredibly handy. With it you can search our database of over 400 Clans and 3,500 septs to find any and all of the links your name has with any of the Scottish Clans.

All you need to do is input the name you would like to find information on in our search box and all the relevant information will pop up for you to peruse at your leisure!

Clan-Map

Clan Map

This exceptional map allows you to see which Clan held which lands around Scotland. You can zoom in and out, move around and get the best idea of where your ancestral lands are located, and what famous towns, cities, lochs and mountains are fell within their boundaries!

ScotClans owners Rodger & Amanda are always out and about all over Scotland, exploring this fantastic country to the fullest, and luckily for all of us they take a whole lot of photos along the way.

All of these have been collected into our new Gallery so you can browse through and explore this wonderful country from afar. We have everything from landscapes to castles, events to wildlife, Highlands to the Lowlands and everything in between.
