​

Two of the most popular banners for assisting people in connecting to their Scottish heritage are:

 

​​

  • "Find My Clan/Family Society" with Quick Response (QR) codes that link to the individual surname pages here on the COSCA website. The banner also includes a QR code to go directly to the "Find My Clan" webpage where people can search for their surnames and their associated clan or family. This can be printed on a 4’ x 2’ vinyl banner for between $20 to $40 depending on vinyl thickness and grommets  (plus shipping and tax.) You can also print a larger size without too much degradation of the resolution.  You can click on this link to download the 30 MB jpg graphic.This is 300 dpi and the dimensions are 15,750 x 8,080 pixels (52.5” x 26.933.”)​
     

Two helpful books are Surnames of Scotland: Their Origin, Meaning and History by George F Black and Scottish Clans and Their Associated Families by our own Bob Heston. Both are available from Amazon and other booksellers.​​
