    ********************************************************************************* GENEALOGISTS FOR THE SCOTTISH CLANS by Robert D. McLaren 7810 Kincardine Court Alexandria, VA 22315-4025 (703) 971-6924 [email protected] 8 April 2000 Version 2000-3 © Copyright 2000 Robert D. McLaren The following list is a compilation of Clan Genealogists or Clan points of contact for genealogy (for the Scottish Clans and Family Associations). The amount of information available from these genealogists varies greatly, with some having extensive records. For example, the clan genealogist for Clan Scott maintains a database of all SCOTTs and is a coordinator of the SCOTT One Name Society. He has about 53,000 records on file dealing with more than 2,000 family lines. The clan genealogist/historian for Clan Barclay also is a coordinator for the BARCLAY One Name Society. She has about 19,000 BARCLAY/BARKLEY and collateral names on file dealing with 125 family lines. The Clan Morrison historian has a 6,000-name database of MORRISON families in the U.S. and Canada. Some clans have genealogy committees. When I learn about them I will include committee members in this listing. Some of these members only cover one or a few states. In these cases, I note the states that particular member covers. Also, some clan genealogists specialize in one surname of a clan. Clan MacKay, for example, has many surname genealogists. I am listing these surnames under the parent clan with a note (i.e., See also Mackie). The actual genealogist and his/her address will be listed under the surname (i.e., Mackie). For some clans, more than one society exists.

  • The Legend of the Lee Penny
    The Legend of the Lee Penny Many tales of lore, stories of knowledge, can only trace their origins to a rough point in time, if at all. The stories seem to change every generation as the stories were passed on, especially if the tradition was passed as verbal history instead of written history. The older the tale, often times it may be far removed from the original tale. To the credit of the early storytellers, they often tried to keep the purity of the tale by expressing it in the form of a song, which would be repeated much the same each time it was sung. Later the written form became the main form of passing the lore on, but it also removed some of the emotional content so expertly conveyed by the storytellers. Because the role of storyteller was reduced, much of this knowledge was lost if not written down and much was lost as it was not taught to the younger generations. A worst offence can be when the original story becomes the basis of a new fictitious story, often time replacing the facts of the original with the fantasy of the new story. Generations blindly then follow the story while the original and it’s truth are forgotten. The Lockhart’s are able to claim the honor of being the source of one tale, that of the Lee Penny. The original story was the basis of the fictional story “The Talisman” by Sir Walter Scott. The Facts of the Lee Penny When Sir Symon Locard returned from a crusade in 1330, he left an amulet to his heirs at the estate called the “Lee”, giving the charm the name of the “Lee Penny”.
