Are you in a Clan? Possibly. But only about 1/3 of ancestral Scots can claim to have come from a Clan, so possibly not! Clans were a territorial/kinship/quasi-military phenomenon of the Highlands and the (Eastern) Borders. The Lowlands – the majority of Scotland’s population – had no Clan system. The “clan system” was one, but not the only, consequence of importing the Anglo-Norman feudal system to Scotland.
This talk will cover:
• Who are “The Scots”? – ancient ethnicities and Y-DNA
• What is a clan or Family?
• The nonsense of ”Septs”
• Does our Clan or Family have a Chief, and if not, can we have one?
• Tartans and Heraldry
• Authenticity in Scottish culture.
There will be ample opportunity for Qs & As.
Dr. Bruce Durie is considered one of Scotland’s top genealogists and Heraldists, with an international reputation. He is perhaps best known for his eight-year BBC radio series, “Digging Up Your Roots” and “A House with A Past”, and he has authored over 30 books. Don‘t miss this opportunity to learn more about the different forms of kinship and organization in Scotland from a leading expert.
THIS IS A VIRTUAL ONLY EVENT.

ATTENDANCE VIA ZOOM ONLY.
This FREE event is just in time for Halloween! During the 19th century, the religious landscape was swept by a spiritualist movement which claimed to channel the dead, through the mouths of living psychic mediums. Victoria was quick to embrace the new movement and a spiritualist society was founded here in the 1860s. The Society counted some of the most prominent members of the local community amongst its members. Kate Humble is an historian who is currently the Superintendent of National Historic Sites for Coastal British Columbia with Parks Canada. Her presentations are always entertaining as well as informative.
