to bring together all those with the name Duncan and the associated
names of 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.
