Scottish Clan

A Scottish clan is a close-knit group of families united by shared heritage, history, and often a common surname, traditionally originating from a specific geographic region in Scotland. Clans were social and military units, offering protection and support to members, especially in times of conflict. Each clan has its own tartan pattern, crest, and motto, symbolizing its identity and pride. While historically significant, modern clans primarily serve cultural, genealogical, and social purposes, celebrating Scottish heritage and community connections.
