A Message From Our President
Welcome to the Clan Maclean Atlantic Canada website. We are here for
all Macleans of any spelling,
and all who are connected with Clan Maclean and
septs of Clan Maclean.
We were formed in 1979 and are located in Eastern Canada.
The majority of our membership reaches from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick,
Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland, however, we also have members from Ontario,
Western Canada, and the USA. We welcome all new members, who will receive 3 to 4
newsletters per year (The Banner), as well as a copy of the international
newsletter (The Battleaxe) from CMIA (Clan MacLean International Association).
We feel very fortunate to have Duart Castle,
located on the Isle of Mull, as our home base. We are also very proud to have
had Lady Mary Maclean, wife of our chief, Sir Lachlan, as patron of our Clan
MacLean Atlantic Association.
We are proud to be part of the international Clan Maclean family
(Clan
Maclean International Association). We also maintain close links with
all of the other Maclean Associations around the world, and on the Net;
and in particular we have a close relationship with the original
Association in Scotland.
We also strongly support the Clan Maclean Heritage Trust,
a charity registered in Scotland (no. SC024481).
We enjoy many activities, such as having our clan tent attend many of the
highland games across the Atlantic Canada region. We also attend other
Scottish events, such as the Culloden ceremony and the Piper's Picnic.
Our goal is to maintain Maclean genealogy and history along with the
Scottish culture in Atlantic Canada. Hopefully our website is one avenue
for all to reach those with similar interest.
2007 was an especially exciting year for all Maclean's, with the
international gathering of Clan Maclean that was held in June on the Isle
of Mull in Scotland.
Look around and enjoy our site and links. Contact us if you have any questions
or are interested in our association. We look forward to having you as a new
member in the near future.
Murray MacLean
President, Clan Maclean Atlantic
