Clan Association

The Scrimgeour Clan Association was formed in 1971. It meets annually, on the first Saturday in June, when besides holding the Annual General Meeting, a programme of interest is arranged for members, especially those coming from abroad. Members are issued with a news bulletin, 'The Skirmisher', annually, which besides recording events at the Annual Gathering, includes items contributed by members and, recently, genealogy information which has already revealed common forbears for several of the name.

The Association is non-profit making and is open to anyone who is interested in the Scrimgeour Clan and Family (including the variant spellings).

 

Constitution

The objects of the Association are:

The fostering of Clan sentiment and the enhancement of the family spirit of the Clan both at home and abroad.
The cultivation of social intercourse among the members.
The collection and preservation of records and traditions bearing on the history of the Clan and the publication, if deemed advisable, of the same among the members.
The protection of the lands and property associated with the Clan particularly to secure the suitable use of Dudhope Castle as a permanent token of the Clan's centuries of common history with the City of Dundee. (At the Annual General Meeting in 1996 it was agreed that monies in the Clan Association's Dudhope Fund could be used to fund work at Kilneuair Church in Argyll).
Such additional objects as may be determined by the Council.
