Share Your Clan Story

Interested in sharing your clan heritage? We’d love to include your story in an upcoming issue. All perspectives, in your own voice, are welcome -- whether you’re deeply rooted in a clan, loosely connected through family, or simply fascinated by one.

Here’s how to take part:

Length: 300-500 words

What to include:

  • Your clan name or family association

  • Your tartan, motto, crest, or symbols and what they mean to you

  • A brief piece of clan history or a family story

  • How you keep traditions alive here in Canada?

  • Optional: a photo of your tartan or a meaningful item

Tone: Personal, welcoming, and rooted in heritage -- no need to be formal.

Format: A few paragraphs is perfect. Ideally not more than 500 words. We’ll take care of editing for clarity and flow.

How to submit: Send your contribution to our communications Director, Liz Smith, at: Communications@OttScot.ca

We look forward to sharing your stories and weaving together the rich tapestry of Scottish heritage within our community
