October 2018 CLAN CARRUTHERS SOCIETY (INTERNATIONAL) Founded on a Royal Charter to Holmains, 1755.

The Battle of Erkinholme, May 1455, is more commonly referred to as the Battle of Arkinholm, albeit it's known by some as the Battle of Langholm, primarily because it was fought where the town of Langholm now stands.

Clan Carruthers: Scottish Clans & Families, what are they and why?

October 2, 2018February 24, 2023 Clan Carruthers

There seems to be a great deal of confusion by some with regards, amongst other things, what a Scottish Clan or family is, what it isn't and who can use the collective term.

Historical and genealogical works on Carruthers had begun in Scotland in the mid to late 1800’s and early 1900’s by both members of the family and others with an interest in the same. These were based on documentations and proofs going back to the 11th century .

These efforts were built on, culminating in a bringing together of likeminded individuals in 2007 to have a Carruthers Chief officially confirmed.

On 19 August 2019, Dr Simon Peter Carruthers of Holmains was confirmed by the Lord Lyon King of Arms, Edinburgh, Scotland as Chief of the Name and Arms of Carruthers

This in turn raised Carruthers to official status rather than remaining armigerous and again allows us to be represented on the Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs in Edinburgh

Having succeeded in the legal recognition of a Clan Chief by the Lord Lyon in 2019, we are authorised by the Chief to represent the Carruthers family worldwide.

We hope you will continue to support us in our endeavours to maintain our Carruthers heritage and history with dignity, transparency and honour.
