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 the Clan Maclean! Our US-based association is just a part of a larger collection of Macleans worldwide. We are proud of our Scottish heritage and our Maclean bloodline. Become a member and help us keep alive the memories of our ancestors – the generations of Macleans who came before us, they are alive in us today, the warriors, Chiefs, and Pipers. You are a continuation of each of these people.

A Special Message
From the Chief
“The strength of a unified Clan, such as ours today, is no longer found in stone and mortar. The strength of our Clan today is found in the individual – in each one of you, whether man, woman or child, no matter where you be. It is found in your blood, in the pride which you have for your ancient name and the heritage which lies behind it, it is found in your very heart. It is indeed a challenge.”
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.
