Clan MacLeod finds its roots in the Highlands and Islands of northwestern Scotland. Starting with the family of Leod in the 13th century, it has grown to be a worldwide clan with active societies in ten countries. The Clan MacLeod Society, USA and its sister societies strive to strengthen the bonds of fellowship in our farflung family—people of the name MacLeod (however spelled), families with names long associated with the Clan (known as "Septs"), and MacLeod descendants under other surnames, as well as friends with an interest in the rich heritage of the Clan MacLeod.

 

The Clan MacLeod Society, USA was founded in 1954 to establish a foundation for charitable, historical and educational pursuits for clan members living in the United States. Since then it has grown to have members in all fifty states, which the Society has divided into thirteen Regions.

Whatever your connection with, or interest in, Clan MacLeod, you will find something of interest in the activities of our Society: support of piping, dance and other Scottish arts, genealogy resources, clan history and lore, or simply meeting and socializing with some of your more distant cousins at Highland games and festivals, or clan gatherings at the local, national and international level.
