You think that you've got Scottish blood somewhere
but you don't know where...
 Check with the family "lore-keeper" (every
family has one) to see whether you have any Scottish
ancestors hidden away somewhere. You never know--you
might discover that Alexander Hamilton or Robert Burns
or Alexander Graham Bell was your great grand-uncle twice
removed!- Check to see whether there's a Scottish maiden name
involved. PCLG only knows your family name. YOU know
the other surnames that make up your heritage.
- You may be one of the 70% of Scots whose family names
aren't associated with a clan (AKA "lowland Scots").
Doesn't matter. See the Scottish District Families Association
web site for more information on this.
- Once you have a name or two to work with, conduct a
search for those names at the House of Tartans Clan Connections
website. Be sure to select the WIDE search option.
Learn about that part of your heritage...
Attend a Highland Games or Celtic Festival. Don't know
where or when? Click

Learn more about the history of your homeland, clan,
or family. How? There are lots of ways:
- Research your genealogy real-time at the Scots
Genes web site.
- Check out the amazing wealth of information available
at Electric
Scotland.
- Just about everything you ever wanted to know about
Scotland can be found at Rampant
Scotland
- Read all the Scottish news that's fit to print--straight
from from the Scotsman, one of Scotland's leading newspapers.
Then....
- Obtain a bit of your clan, family, military, professional,
state, or district tartan--or a general tartan.
- Attend PCLG's Kirkin' o' the Tartans.
- Participate in the worship of the Kirk to ask God's
blessing on the clans and heaven's protection for all
its members around the world.
And finally...
So your name is Wong or Guiterrez or Sczewick and you
just know that there isn't a drop of Scottish blood anywhere
in your history.
So what?
Every Presbyterian is a Scot by adoption--at least at
the Kirkin' o' the Tartans!
