Based
in the Scottish Highlands the Clan Duncan Society's primary purpose is
to bring together all those with the name Duncan and the associated
names of Duncan, Duncanson, Duncane,
Dunkinson, Duncean, Dunken, Donkin, Dunkin and other alternate spellings;
to globally unite all those with an interest in their history, heritage
and ancestral roots in Scotland and unite all Duncan's both at home and
overseas as one Clan.
Duncan
is without doubt one of the oldest names in Scotland with a wide, varied
and historic background. The formation of our own Clan Duncan Society
will enable us to bring all those associated with the name together in
one place as one Clan.
Now
with in excess of 2,133 supporters worldwide on the
Clan Roll and growing, it offers exciting
prospects for the Society meeting its ambitions in the future.
