I’m the new regent for Clan Douglas for Utah and I’ll be setting up the clan booth at our local Celtic Festival in Moab, Utah for the first time. Wish me luck!

Very good advice Eric, people always expect to get the precise answers that are specific to them.

[@dutchomatic]

Great topic! Thank you!

[@wulf76]

i had to do some deep searching and have traced my heitage to clan duncan and yes it's watered down in the bloodline but it's still cool to find that history

[@sandrocksv-logs5376]

I go to the Greenville Scot. games all the times, My clan Marshall, but we are under the Keith Clan in Scotland... how do i proof to them that i am a part of them or the clan that i can join up with them? My grandmother was from Scotland.. but she died when i was 1 years old. The surname Marshall was first found in Lothian, where the Clan is said to be descended from Robert, an early Chieftain of the Catti tribe, and possibly one of the earliest settlers in Scotland. Robert joined King Malcolm II at the battle of Panbridge, in 1006, against Camus, leader of the Danes..... thanks for teaching all of us about more in scotland... love ur vids.

I'd say, do the history searches on various websites and get it all printed out. I'm planning on joining the Eliot clan society even though my last name isn't Eliot (it was my grandmother's maiden name). If they are real sticklers about that stuff I'd go with the hard copies and the research and stuff.

Or local Clan Davidson "tent convener" always brings several scotches for us to taste, God bless him

[@jasmachugh4222]

Very cool, I just requested membership in this group! (MD chapter of Clan Douglas)

[@Valkyriemoon7]

I feel this way about my partner's family reunion. It's boring and I feel if there isn't a real change to keep the kids and people in their 30's interested and entertained while there, it's going to die fairly quick.

[@Time_Lord_Council]

I'd love to learn more about the clans I come from (no affiliation in surname because my Celtic heritage is on my mother's side), but I don't know where to begin researching.

The very first Highland games I went to, I stop by clan MacDougals tent. We are a sept of clan McDougall as well as having stem from the same family line as them. I sat and talked with a represent him for quite a while, and at the end they admitted that I taught them stuff. And they have been a part of this committee much longer than I have. Many people from my clan had come up to her in the past as well as that weekend and asked her why we didn’t have our own clan, why we had to be septs Of her clan and if you others. And it wasn’t until she started talking to me that she realized, though we no longer have a clan chief, we do have our own separate clan. We just do not have a clan chief or a clan society or anything. Smaller clan though. I know when I have the time and money I want to start gathering the resources to set up a clan tent and start hitting the Highland game circuit when ever I can as often as I can. Maybe even start a clan society.

[@trevorlahey2112]

I've only seen a MacDougall tent once in my life. I was in 2nd grade at the St. Louis Highland Games. They were really cool, and even had homemade shortbread! It was awesome to see as I'm Clan MacDougall myself. I never saw them at another games again though which is pretty sad. The Highland Games in St. Louis is pretty much dead now as well which is sad. I'm trying to learn about the clan, but it can be difficult since it's not a common one by any means.

[@mrstudios010]

I'm contacting Clan MacKenzie to help out like this for event.

[@USAKiltsOfficial]

Wonderful!

[@TheCanach5]

Agree 100% Also it can cost several hundred dollars per game.

[@nokoolaid]

I volunteer for the Caledonian Society of Arizona during the games. I do all three days, the setup on a Friday and the weekend. This year the games were canceled, so I need something to do... :(

[@rockraprecords5198]

What if you have multiple clans I'd support all all Celtic I be Scotts and irish Got clan Douglas in my family that's one of many

[@straycat1674]

Does anybody know where you can get a clan tent where you can potentially have your clan Tartan custom painted or printed on it, as in the whole thing?.

I don’t know how to find my clan

[@la_old_salt2241]

Laura, don't just focus on your maiden or married name. Look back as far as you have information for and look at grandmother's maiden names also. One drop of blood counts.

[@JMD1965]

You get into the games for free?... Noooo.. You have to pay for a tent space to set up. PLEASE make it clear with the parent Clan Society whether or not you will be reimbursed

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Yeah, that's a good idea of something to check up on. These things aren't cheap!

[@la_old_salt2241]

It also depends on the games, but absolutely it can be expensive.
