Connecting Kin & Clan
Welcome to the Clan Maclean Association in the United States. We help Macleans connect with American kin, clan, and family.
We work to preserve and share the history of our ancient clan and continue the traditions, music, and stories of our forebearers. You can usually find us at most Highland Games, and occasionally we host galas, ceilidhs, and other get-togethers. We hope to see you at one!
We invite you to join us and connect with the ancient world-wide Maclean family.
Welcome to our very large supportive family of the Clan Maclean in the United States. We are a very proud group of friends—proud because we are Macleans, with a heritage of noble leaders, fierce warriors, romantic poets, and good company. – Les McLean, President

Duart Appeal
Help Restore Duart Castle
The Keep of Duart Castle was built in 1360; the wings were added in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the late 17th century, Duart was put to ruin by the Earl of Argyll. In 1911 the 26th Chief bought the ruins and restored the building you see today. Duart remains one of the few original clan seats that has survived as the home of the Chief and his family while also being open to the public.
Since 1911, the Chief has personally funded repairs at Duart. Historic Scotland Foundation has committed to fund half of the cost of the repair and preservation. Contributions from donors like you are needed to save the castle and its heritage.
