The Clan MacThomas Society was founded in Edinburgh in 1954 for the purpose of developing interest in the Clan and to promote its welfare. 2014 was our Diamond Jubilee. The Chief of the Clan, who is a member of the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs, is President of the Society.

   

Admission to membership is at the discretion of the Society Council and is normally extended to all those having some connection with one of the clan surnames (Septs) although interested well-wishers without such connection would not necessarily be barred.

    

If you are interested in joining the Society why not visit our How to Join page where we now offer an on-line membership application form. 

       

In return for their subscription each member receives a copy of the Society's annual magazine "Clach na Coileach" and periodic Society and Branch newsletters. The Society holds regular gatherings in the Clan's ancient lands in Glenshee. Full details of these and other activities around the world can be found on this website. Members can also ask the Clan Sennachie (genealogist) for advice about researching their family trees.

           

There are active Branches of the Society in Australia, Europe and North America (US and Canada). The Society is also keen to promote branches in New Zealand and South Africa where we already have members.

     

There is a great opportunity of Members who want to do so to become actively involved in work for the Society or in investigation of their family history within the context of the clan, affording immense interest and satisfaction. However none of this is compulsory and many Members may wish to take a less active part, satisfied in the knowledge that their membership helps to make possible the broadening of awareness of the Clan and its history, and the preservation of its traditions.

     

Members can purchase Clan Merchandise from the  Shop elsewhere on this website.
