MEMBERSHIP FEES ARE PAID ANNUALLY
SUPPORTING THE SOCIETY IS SUPPORTING YOUR SCOTTISH HERITAGE, OUR CHIEF AND OUR RESEARCH TO MAINTAIN THE FACTS ABOUT OUR HISTORY, OUR CULTURE AND OUR PLACE IN RESPECTABLE CLAN SOCIETY, FOR ALL FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME.
By permission of the Chief, Peter Carruthers of Holmains, membership of the Clan Carruthers Society (International) is open to all derivations of our name, which includes those carrying the name through marriage and adoption.
Founded on a Royal Charter to Holmains in 1755, the Society has been working since 2007 to have our first Chief confirmed since 1809. We succeeded on the 19th of August 2019 when Dr Simon Peter Carruthers of Holmains (known as Peter) was confirmed Chief of the Name and Arms of Carruthers by the Lord Lyon in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Working on your behalf are 6 Regional Clan Commissioners covering Africa, Australasia, Canada, Europe, UK and the USA. They are all certified and commissioned by our Chief, the Society’s Honorary President.
As the official home of our clan and family, we are authorised by our Chief to represent all of our name worldwide.
As your representatives, we are therefore in membership of and have access to the newsletters of the Scottish Australian Heritage Council (SAHC), the Clans and Scottish Societies of Canada (CASSOC), the Council of Scottish Clans and Associations (CASSOC) in the US and through the Convenor, the Royal Celtic Society (RCS) in Scotland.
We are a not-for-profit group, which is based in Scotland, with access to both genealogy and yDNA testing. Therefore the accuracy of our history and our heritage is extremely important to us.
We would therefore ask that you offer your support, by joining our Society and allowing us to continuing doing the good works on your behalf, and that of your children going forward.
Payment can be made through Bank Transfer or PayPal, see below.
