Clan Lachlan Association of Canada  & Clan MacLachlan Society

The clan lachlan CD

The mandate is to store for all time written and photographic records pertaining to the heritage of our Clan.  The objective is to make this a living record where members, now and in succeeding generations, would contribute their history and experience. The updated "clan lachlan" CD is held in the National Library of Scotland so a permanent record of the heritage of our clan including the stories of individual families will be preserved for all time.

Descriptions of CD

The clan lachlan CD is in the form of a library of E books. There are complete issues of the "clan lachlan" from 1998. Articles from over 27 years issues of the clan lachlan are included. There are articles on our Celtic and Scottish heritage. There is a gallery of Photos of the Clan. There is a collection of prints paintings and photographs showing Scotland's History through the ages. There is a collection of historical papers relating to the MacLachlans in Scotland.

There are also records and articles reflecting the collective experience of the Clan in Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand & the USA. Extensive genealogical records include: the Families of Scotland from the work of the Sennachie; the Family Histories of members; the Story of our Family from members; detailed genealogical records for Scottish parishes collected over thirty years by the Sennachie and members.

Updating : each year we add two complete issues of the magazine, clan lachlan; any genealogical research or Story of our Family added by new and existing members; new articles published on our Celtic and Scottish heritage.
