Clan MacDuff is one of Scotland’s most ancient and historically significant clans, boasting a rich and unique heritage. As the premier society dedicated to preserving and celebrating the legacy of Clan MacDuff, we strive to connect members with their ancestry while fostering a sense of community among MacDuffs worldwide.
Clan MacDuff hosts and participates in numerous highland games, festivals and events though out the year, all across the States, providing opportunities for members to connect and celebrate their Scottish roots. Our annual general meeting (AGM) is a highlight, bringing members together for a weekend of fellowship and official clan business. You do not have to wear a kilt to participate in any of the events, our goal is for everyone to experience the family, have a fun time and to celebrate our Clan. We are a family oriented group, so all ages are welcomed. Most of the larger festivals have activities for the kids, and what better way is there for the next generation to learn about their family history.
We sincerely hope that you will consider a membership in our Clan as you will find that being a member of our family can be rewarding, educational and most of all fun!
